Hi, I'd like to bring to your attention the discussion surrounding gnome-shell/networkmanager bug #679212 (NetworkManager VPN secrets: NetworkAgent internal error): https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679212 A fix for this particular bug is under way. The cause for the bug was Arch Linux's use of different libexecdirs for gnome-shell and networkmanager plugins (/usr/lib/gnome-shell and /usr/lib/networkmanager, respectively), instead of the default /usr/libexec. This is in accordance with Arch Packaging Standards: "Avoid using /usr/libexec/ for anything. Use /usr/lib/${pkgname}/ instead." [1] What is the motivation for this rule? In response to the above bug report, a gnome-shell dev says that he "could consider this weird libexecdir setting a distribution problem." Since this seems to be an unusual setting, I suspect that there might still be many more bugs lurking around for which Arch Linux plays beta tester. Indeed, this is not the first time that I am having trouble with Arch Linux packages using custom installation directories [2]. Maybe it's not such a big deal and it's just me having some tough luck (2 events do not make a good statistic). But expectations upstream seem to contradict the Arch Linux rule, so I wanted to bring it up for discussion.
