These two have been bumped because apparently some people still had problems due to an edge case with the generation of pacnew files I bumped both the package and the md5sum on profile in order to get around edge cases with no pacnew files bash was a version bump too mainly to move the man pages filesystem changes: Setup for FHS compliant man pages - FS#8839 Claim ownership of /etc/profile from bash - FS#4766 Remove LESSCHARSET env var from /etc/profile - FS#8877 bash changes: Update patch level to 033 Remove /etc/profile from package. Move bashisms to /etc/profile.bash - FS#4766 /etc/profile was also largely revamped. Please comment on the changes there if you'd like. I'd like to get these into core as soon as possible
