Hi,

the latest filesystem package now owns /home my /home used to be a symlink to some other location, so the upgrade failed. I "fixed" it for now by just linking my home folder into /home (since I'm running a single user setup it's fine)

However I'm curious whether the directory should be left as it is, or if it's "allowed to play with"

cheers

It's not just you, I have wrote a letter to arch-security, because I saw worrying message afterwards: warning: /etc/group installed as /etc/group.pacnew warning: /etc/gshadow installed as /etc/gshadow.pacnew configuration error - unknown item 'OBSCURE_CHECKS_ENAB'(notify administrator) configuration error - unknown item 'PASS_ALWAYS_WARN' (notify administrator) configuration error - unknown item 'OBSCURE_CHECKS_ENAB' (notify administrator) configuration error - unknown item 'PASS_ALWAYS_WARN' (notify administrator)
