Sorry to interrupt guys but can't this be done in pre_upgrade function in .INSTALL script of the package?
Quote: man PKGBUILD
pre_install Run right before files are extracted. One argument is passed: new package full version string.

This would require changing the install script only for this particular update. But what's wrong with (as root) "rm -vf /etc/mtab && ln -vs /proc/self/mounts /etc/mtab && pacman -Syu"? -- Leonid Isaev GnuPG key ID: 164B5A6D Key fingerprint: C0DF 20D0 C075 C3F1 E1BE 775A A7AE F6CB 164B 5A6D
