Upgrading pacman behaves differently on different systems
This isn't a problem, since I haven't noticed any issues. I'm only curious to why two systems behave differently.
System 1 (x86_64 locale sv_SE):
Interrupts upgrade of system to specifically upgrade pacman first.
System 2 (x86 locale ru_RU):
Doesn't interrupt, instead it upgrades pacman along with other packages.
Is there a logic answer to why? I'm only asking, since I don't know whether such differences could create problem for some users.

Re: Upgrading pacman behaves differently on different systems
Look into your /etc/pacman.conf for the SyncFirst variable. It defaults to having pacman there, and it is the list of which packages to upgrade first like on your first system. See man pacman.conf for more details.

Re: Upgrading pacman behaves differently on different systems
For some reason I didn't check whether both config files are updated to the same version. I'll report back when the remote PC is up running and hence accessible (my mother-in-law's computer on the other side of the ocean).
