Description:
Upon installing osdbattery, pacman outputs incorrect post installation instructions:

[timothy@tomothytablet panels]$ sudo pacman -S osdbattery
<etc>
: Remember to copy /etc/osdbattery/osdbattery.cfg to your home dir
: cp /etc/osdbattery/osdbattery.cfg ~/.osdbattery

: The /usr/bin/showbatt script can be bound to a key combo to
: easily show and hide the monitor

These are WRONG, because you should not copy the file osdbattery.cfg to the FILE ~/.osdbattery, you should copy it to the DIRECTORY ~/.osdbattery!

Here are the correct instructions:

: Remember to copy /etc/osdbattery/osdbattery.cfg to a ".osdbattery" directory in your home dir
: mkdir ~/.osdbattery
: cp /etc/osdbattery/osdbattery.cfg ~/.osdbattery

Steps to reproduce: Install osdbattery and read the post installation message.
