Eli,
The files should definitely be owned, though... I suspect your issue is due to upgrading the pacman version, resulting in some files that could not be deleted due to not existing, but were not part of the new package and therefore did not exist afterward either.
thanks. in theory (modulo fat fingers), the only files i *removed* were ones that [pacman -Qo] said were unowned. and, *those* files were unowned post [pacman -Syu]. a time machine would help. absent that, again, i guess we'll "let that mystery be". thanks again. cheers, Greg
