Research direction
Start by locating the xbps upgrade command's output and the package-size calculation, then compare its behavior with the Arch Linux example described in the issue. Confirm how downloaded, installed, and removed package sizes are reported; done means upgrade output includes a total difference that can be negative when appropriate.

Description
printed before the update, which is a feature I really like in the package manager when using Arch Linux
"to be uploaded" mb
"it will take up space" mb
"total difference" mb
the total difference part here was a feature that I really liked and that worked for me. Especially here, I would be very happy to see a negative value like -xMB in the total difference part.
I currently use void because I like minimalistic things, I chose these two distributions. I would like to say that I like void Linux much more than arch. The feature I mentioned is not available in void's package manager (xbps) and I would like to do this. In fact, as a c c++ student, I would like to do this myself, but I don't know if I have that much experience. I want to try it if possible. But I have no experience contributing to the open source community.
please help me or add it yourself. best regards.
