Hi, I found another bug in VTun PKGBUILD.
The backup array is as follows:

backup=('etc/vtund.conf')

But the package is configured with --sysconfdir=/etc/vtun, so it should appear like this:

backup=('etc/vtun/vtund.conf').

This is quite dangerous, as an upgrade may overwrite your vtund.conf without notice (yes, it actually happened to me just minutes before writing this bug report :-).
I am attaching a patch for the problem, please note that it is based on the modifications I made to the PKGBUILD in bug #1949, so it may not apply cleanly to the original one.
Hope they will both be accepted! :-)

Sorry, I put this one in the wrong category: should be Packages: Extra.
Hurry is not a good advisor. :-(
