Hi devs, This mail is trigger by this problem [#1]. 1) PKG1 installs some directory without any files like "/some/common/dir" 2) PKG2 installs the same directory "/some/common/dir" with or without any files inside 3) Removing PKG2 also remove "/some/common/dir" that is installed by PKG1 This behaviour is expected? pacman only track files not directories true? Also tested with the latest pacman.git (at commit 30c4d53ce) packages like openssh that install an empty dir "/var/empty/" should also install a hidden file like "/var/empty/.keep.this.for.openssh" ?
