This is a limitation in pacman.  --print does not handle replaces.
I'm not sure if I would consider this a bug given that we ignore
replacers in other non-interactive situations.  If you think the
behavior should be changed though, feel free to open a ticket in
flyspray.

Also, no need to use --noconfirm, it's implied by --print.
