Not sure why NEW is capitalized, but the reason for the other three is probably because these are files that exist in the pacman DB. Take a look at the files listed under /var/lib/pacman/local/*/ (just pick a package directory).

Yepp, I see what you mean - but the mystery about NEW remains. I simply assumed that there must an equivalent NEW file (which I cannot find) - and to assume that NEW was capitalized accidentally doesn't make sense either: Why should pacman use "new conflicts"? I thought it should read "NEW conflicts [with %S]"
Still clueless, Matt
Best guess is that someone just wanted to accent the fact that it was new. Basically boldface on the console. -Dan
