[arch-dev-public] News draft: libtraceevent>=5.9-1 update requires manual intervention
The libtraceevent package prior to version 5.9-1 was missing a soname link. This has been fixed in 5.9-1, so the upgrade will need to overwrite the untracked files created by ldconfig. If you get any of these errors
libtraceevent: /usr/lib/libtraceevent.so.1 exists in filesystem
when updating, use
pacman -Syu --overwrite usr/lib/libtraceevent.so.1
to perform the upgrade.

Was libtraceevent 5.9 never in [community-testing]?
Next time, please release the affected package to [*testing] together with the draft.

No, like every release.

Sure, I didn't know that rule. It's written somewhere or well known habit?
