Hi
When I install/uninstall/upgrade some package, pacman will report "alias: -g: invalid option". This is only for pacman 5.0, and everything is well for pacman 4.X.
These `alias -g` are from my profile for zsh, `alias -g` is avaliable in zsh, but not in bash. I noticed that pacman will run **bash** sometime. I think this is the reason of this issue.
For more info you can see: https://github.com/Arondight/profile/blob/master/zsh/.zsh/alias/global_alias... and (I do not good at English so I write in Chinese) https://github.com/Arondight/profile/issues/1

I don't kown whether it is a bug, I am very sorry if this is not a bug.
I'd say not a bug... pacman is calling bash to run the install scriptlets. My guess is you are sourcing your zsh config in a bash specific file. Allan
