Looks good to me. I ran the script, then removed the NoUpgrade from pacman.conf , then reinstalled the packages owning the default files in NoUpgrade : pacman -S filesystem grub initscripts lilo module-init-tools sudo
so it extracted a bunch of unneeded pacnew files that I removed : rm /etc/*.pacnew /boot/grub/menu.lst.pacnew but it also fixed the database in the same time :)
With pacman 3, I wouldn't even have needed to remove the files from NoUpgrade before reinstalling the packages. It would still have fixed the database.
So well, looks like it at least works correctly in the common case :d
Yeah, I got to be the lucky one to test this first last night. I hope it works fine since I had to put my system out there. :) -Dan
