The only thing I can think off is a system crash during an update a long
time ago. I think I had to remove pacman's lockfile manually after the
next reboot but had no other trouble with that.
Is there a way to fix the ownerships of this directories/files?
I can't find anything in pacman's manpage and Google didn't turn up with
anything promising either.
