Is this a pacman error? According to pacman /etc/profile does not belong to anything. But why is it still there. If it was in a backup array of a previous package, why wasn't it renamed to .pacsave?
Is it possible to workaround this by a funky install script hack? I fear that a lot of people will complain about this when this package hits [core].
It's already there. Here's the thing. It *was* in the package, then got lost in the last one (Dan, Eric, and myself signed off, as far as i know). The problem is that it utterly breaks ftp installs, so we needed to push this soon. pacman -Sf will handle this case just fine, because it is in the backup array of the new bash package.
