If anyone has some detailed documentation on how to update from .install to pacman 5.0 hooks or hooks in general, I would love to read it so I can better understand what's going on.
Just remove the install files. It's all handled automatically by the hooks. Look at the update-mime-database.hook for example [Trigger] Type = File Operation = Install Operation = Upgrade Operation = Remove Target = usr/share/mime/packages/*.xml [Action] Description = Updating the MIME type database... When = PostTransaction Exec = /usr/bin/update-mime-database /usr/share/mime This hook will be executed whenever a *.xml file in /usr/share/mime/packages is installed/changed/removed by pacman. So you don't have to care about if a package contains such a file anymore. The hook does it for you. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Michael
