> wanting to update itself and all installed packages each time you install a new package

Whatt?? It updates itself(which you can stop by ^c and the installation proceeds without updating) which takes around a minute for me but definitely not all the packages only the dependencies.

Not sure if the parent or me has something wrong in the configuration that our experience is so different.

It's always been the case for me that it'll update everything I have installed, and won't let me proceed with installing a package until that finishes. No idea why, but it's obnoxious enough to make me never want to use it again.
