Gotcha, so you're looking to pass `--force` onto pacman on installation. I
think we may have a way to do that already. I'll check when I'm in front of
a computer.

For instance, downgrading gcc would require removal of the existing
package, but having a --force or -f option would automatically fix the
issues presented in the output above (without manual use of pacman, yay,
etc). Personally, I had wanted to downgrade gcc to 12.2.1-4 for
compatibility with VMware.

Hi there-
Happy to consider new flags. What behavior difference(s) would the new flag
cause exactly?

Add Force Option Background
I would like a force option (if there is not one already) for convenience
and time management reasoning.
Proposed feature
Add sudo downgrade foo --force or something along the lines. Perhaps an
option for sudo downgrade foo -f too if possible.

Thanks Pat :)

Yes, it looks like downgrade accepts any arguments after -- as additional arguments to pass with pacman -U to install the package(s). So, whatever options would prevent pacman from prompting can be passed there. In your example, I think downgrade gcc -- --noconfirm may be what you want?

I wonder if the --help could be clearer on this...
% downgrade --help
Usage: downgrade [option...] <pkg> [pkg...] [-- pacman_option...]
Options:
...
Note:
Options after the -- characters will be treated as pacman options.

Closing optimistically, assuming that solves things. Feel free to re-open if not.
