And here the dates of the files:


$ ls -lh
total 8,0K
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 229 30. Mai 2013  00-dns.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 344 20. Feb 2020  00-dns.sh.pacnew


So when copying over from HDD to SSD I seem to have taken care of 
keeping the filestamps as I did not have my SSD in year 2013.

If pacman had a bug in the past which did not properly move .pacnew into 
place (or maybe the "move into place feature" came some time later). 
Could a existing ".pacnew", created from older pacman versions, cause 
issues here?

This is a pretty old Arch install. Never reinstalled. Always just 
updated. The oldest date I could find is August 2012.
