Does package installation trigger an update?

Thanks. Let me make sure I understood correctly.

So the principle is to make sure that the system is up-to-date before installing any package.

To that end, I could do one of these two things.

  1. Use
pamac install qbittorrent
  1. Update the system (I do this per your own how-to at [root tip] [How To] Update Manjaro the smart way) and then use
pacman -S qbittorrent

Would that sum it up?
