[SOLVED] Silencing particular pacman warnings?

Currently, pacman does this:

[root@yavin4 ~]# pacman -Su
:: Starting full system upgrade...
warning: kdepim-akregator: ignoring package upgrade (4.4.9-1 => 4.7.0-1)
warning: kdepim-kmail: ignoring package upgrade (4.4.9-1 => 4.7.0-1)
warning: kdepim-libkdepim: ignoring package upgrade (4.4.9-1 => 4.7.0-1)

Why, thank you pacman. I added them to IgnorePkg myself, I don't need to see the warning every time. Is there any way to do this, aside from wrapping pacman with grep?

Re: [SOLVED] Silencing particular pacman warnings?

Acknowlegded. So, for all adventurous/insane Archers, this moves all the annoying warnings in pacman do debug level:

Applied that on my system pacman and it works like a charm
