hi, i am running pacman db inside a loop (humm to speed up some pacman operation) and when i run pacman -Sc (or -Scc); i got ... Do you want to remove unused repositories? [Y/n] y Do you want to remove /var/lib/pacman/lost+found? [Y/n] n it's because i have a lost+found directory in /var/lib/pacman because it's the root of a filesystem. i find the question annyoing, as lost+found is NOT an unused repository. may be you could just ignore lost+found (on -Sc) so that the last question above is not asked ? that will be be really unfortunate if a real repo uses that name. so simply do not ask the user. on the other hand, as the user is asked about that where is the problem ? if ever there are some files in lost+found, he/she would have still plenty of time to fix it because he/she has to run manually a -Sc command. and if there is a problem the first to do is not to run -Sc ! a good or bad idea ? your call
