[arch-general] Upgrading mlocate: /var/lib/mlocate/ Permissions Warning.

[Ralph Corderoy]

Hi,

This morning's `pacman -Su' encountered

    (10/13) upgrading mlocate           [######################] 100%
    warning: directory permissions differ on /var/lib/mlocate/ filesystem: 750  package: 755
    (11/13) upgrading xkeyboard-config  [######################] 100%

when upgrading from version 0.26-6 to 0.26.git.20170220-1.
Sure enough, afterwards

    drwxr-x--- 2 root locate     4096 Jun 10 00:01 /var/lib/mlocate
    -rw-r----- 1 root locate 16287372 Jun 10 00:01 /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db

https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/mlocate#n58
seems to take care that /var/lib/locate is 750 on line 58, but that's
`locate', not `mlocate', so perhaps `mlocate' needs a similar set up?

    $ zcat /var/lib/pacman/local/mlocate-0.26.git.20170220-1/mtree |
    > grep '^\./var/lib'
    ./var/lib time=1528233128.0 mode=755 type=dir

 ✗  ./var/lib/mlocate time=1528233128.0 mode=755 type=dir
    $
    $ tar tvf /var/cache/pacman/pkg/mlocate-0.26.git.20170220-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz \
