This would be helpful, in my opinion, though, as it would prevent the blacklist from getting invisibly uncommented, and causing problems which may be hard to debug.


|neither pkgfile nor pacman -F can find any of those 3 files, they may 
not have been created by pacman .|

|run pacman -Qo on them to verify if they belong to any pacakge.|

|If they indeed are not owned by any package they're created in another 
way and you'll have to figure out what that way is.|

|A pacman hook is  a possibility, but neither nvidia nor nvidia-utils 
does appear to install a pacman hook .|
