Using the `-y` switch in Pacman refreshes the catalog, but doesn't upgrade existing packages. This causes a "partial upgrade". From the Arch Linux wiki: [Partial upgrades are unsupported](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/System_maintenance#Partial_upgrades_are_unsupported) This change removes the `-y` switch. It will be up to the user to refresh the catalog and upgrade the system _explicitly_. The other approach would be to have both the `-y` _and_ `-u` switches, but that would mean that installing a package through Puppet would implicitly upgrade the whole of the system - I don't think that would be desirable.
