So on a fresh instance of arch linux, I want to be able to install tzdata from the get-go.
To do so manually, I do this:-
[root@myarch ~]# pacman -S tzdata
:: The following packages should be upgraded first :
pacman
:: Do you want to cancel the current operation
:: and upgrade these packages now? [Y/n] n
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
Targets (1): tzdata-2012c-1
Total Download Size: 0.13 MB
Total Installed Size: 5.41 MB
Proceed with installation? [Y/n] Y
As can be seen, I have to first key in n, followed by Y.
How do I run run this in one single line of bash without needing to key in n and Y?
yes n | pacman -S tzdata
gets me pass the first prompt. But I get stuck on the second prompt (obviously).
