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

From what you describe this problem, it seems you haven't properly split up your shell's different configurations without having one leak into any other, and not source .zshrc in .bashrc or such things, which are clearly the wrong thing to do. Your shell knows very well what to source on its own. For the sake of being able to get rid of the errors, instead you could try wrapping your use of alias -g in your config with [[ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]] && alias ... or if [[ ...as previously... ]]; then alias...; fi cheers! mar77i
