Lately, possibly starting at mid December, files in /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ are kept with mode u=rw,g=,o= . Am I the only one having it? Not observed here:

$ find /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ -iname '*.tar.zst' -exec stat -c '%a' {} + | sort -u 644 -----

Check what `umask` prints before invoking pacman. If not 0022, here???s the culprit.

Right to the point. A systemd timer script had a too strict Umask setting. Thank for all replies. -- jadon

Otherwise please post the EXACT, COMPLETE command line you are invoking.
