Hi,

nala seems to mimic that annoying misfeature of yum/dnf to always update
the package list even if you just did that and just want to upgrade
packages.

So please provide a means (e.g. a configuration option in
/etc/nala/nala.conf) to not run a package list update on "nala upgrade".

Thanks in advance!

I think this sounds like a great idea. I'll be sure to get a configuration option for this in the next release.

In the mean time `nala upgrade --no-update` should be able to get the functionality that you want.

Thanks,
Blake

Ah, thanks!

While I see it in the man page now, I somehow didn't find that option
(I also didn't know it's name) when looking in the man page before
writing the bug report.

I probably either didn't notice that after the list of subcommand
there's also a general options list or didn't expect that this option
is a general one.
