[SOLVED] Lines showing size even when there is no update

Hi. I have installed pamac-aur-git (in pamac-aur pamac-tray icon didn't work) to only manage what packages I have installed, not to update anything. (makes it easier for me rather than typing pacman -Qq) but one thing that bothers me, after installing pamac when I type

trizen -Syu / pacman -Syu

and there is no update it shows:

:: Synchronising package databases...
 core is up to date         0.0   B  0.00B/s 00:00 [----------------------]   0%
 extra is up to date        0.0   B  0.00B/s 00:00 [----------------------]   0%
 community is up to date    0.0   B  0.00B/s 00:00 [----------------------]   0%
 multilib is up to date     0.0   B  0.00B/s 00:00 [----------------------]   0%
:: Starting full system upgrade...
 there is nothing to do

Before I didn't see these 0's. Why is it so?
When community got updated it no longer shows it there so I guess when all will be updated it will disappear.

What is the output of just:

pacman -Syu

If that looks OK, then contact the maintainer of "trizen", it's likely an issue with that AUR tool. Please be aware of the red warning box at the top of the Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers.

That "/" between could lead to missunderstanding but I have also tried

pacman -Syu

Anyway, if the repository gets updated it proceeds an update and then these 0's disappear in next -Syu, so I think it isn't some dangerous issue and probably has something to do with pamac-aur-git.
I will mark this thread as solved.

You are suggesting that an AUR helper modified the output produced by pacman just by being installed on the system?

I don't know what else could, it happend after installing pamac-aur-git (I installed pamac-aur and then removed it before too, but didn't check -Syu) and obviously enabling it, I also refreshed the database. When I googled these 0's all references were to manjaro/antegros forums, and as I know manjaro has pamac instaled ootb, and somebody posted his logs there, on Manjaro's forum with the same outpout but it wasn't the main problem and nobody reacted to it. I don't want to imply anything because my Linux knowgledge is really small, but as I said before - if you know what could cause it I will test it.
