I just used the /var/log/pacman.log for the first time to give me the last date-time I did a system upgrade ('starting full system upgrade' in the log). There is no time-zone info in the time-stamp. It's also not UTC. Does anyone know if this is by design or a bug? `pacman` uses local time of your system. Indeed it seems like an ommision.
You may consider opening a feature request, so pacman.conf would allow either an option to include TZ in the logs (good idea) or setting custom time format (worse idea, as this would bind `pacman` codebase to the specific time formatting function).
Meanwhile you can explicitly set the timezone to UTC when calling pacman, that way the log will be consistent: $ TZ=UTC sudo pacman ... -- ProgAndy
