Hi Linas,
First of all, sorry for the (very) late reply and thanks for your interest,
there were
some not so good changes in my life lately and I couldn't answer early :)

Following your suggestion I did some research on this issue and this is what
I
found:

/tmp folder permissions are the same after installing the new package,
however
(and this is the real thing) I found every normal user in the system are
given
root privileges, that's why makepkg fails, because it tries to compile the
package
as root; if I launch makepkg with --asroot argument it while run ok.

I found too that adding a new user after upgrading core/filesystem it's
created
as expected without any issues.

Anyways, if no problem arise I think I will wait until next package update
and try
to upgrade it but in the event it's totally necessary to upgrade this
package seems
I will need to do that 'trick' of creating a new user after upgrading and
migrating my
actual user to the new one.

Thank you very much again!

Last, wish you all people the best for the upcoming year: Happy New Year! =D
