I'll throw some of my test results out here for this whole possible
bug. I manually edited one of the backup md5sums in the pacman DB and
updated a package, and was able to get a pacnew notice. You only get
this notice if the file has changed between package versions, so I
simulated this manually by modifying the md5sum. This doesn't get me
any closer to determining why my pacman3.conf was overwritten,
however. I have a suspicion it might have to do with uninstalling a
package completely and then reinstalling, but I'm not sure.
