Hi, This morning's `pacman -Su' encountered (10/13) upgrading mlocate [######################] 100% warning: directory permissions differ on /var/lib/mlocate/ filesystem: 750 package: 755 (11/13) upgrading xkeyboard-config [######################] 100% when upgrading from version 0.26-6 to 0.26.git.20170220-1. Sure enough, afterwards drwxr-x--- 2 root locate 4096 Jun 10 00:01 /var/lib/mlocate -rw-r----- 1 root locate 16287372 Jun 10 00:01 /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packag... seems to take care that /var/lib/locate is 750 on line 58, but that's `locate', not `mlocate', so perhaps `mlocate' needs a similar set up? $ zcat /var/lib/pacman/local/mlocate-0.26.git.20170220-1/mtree | > grep '^\./var/lib' ./var/lib time=1528233128.0 mode=755 type=dir ✓ ./var/lib/locate time=1528233128.0 mode=750 gid=21 type=dir ✗ ./var/lib/mlocate time=1528233128.0 mode=755 type=dir $ $ tar tvf /var/cache/pacman/pkg/mlocate-0.26.git.20170220-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz \ > --warning=no-unknown-keyword var/lib drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2018-06-05 22:12 var/lib/ ✓ drwxr-x--- root/21 0 2018-06-05 22:12 var/lib/locate/ ✗ drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2018-06-05 22:12 var/lib/mlocate/ $ -- Cheers, Ralph. https://plus.google.com/+RalphCorderoy
