Details

For example:
when I install the sudo package (add, not upgrade), the file /etc/sudoers is not extracted because it is a NoUpgrade file. However, I need this file as a template for the /etc/sudoers file that I will create.

The option name 'NoUpgrade' suggests that the file should be created, but never replaced.

At very least, the file /etc/sudoers.pacnew should be extracted as it is when I do an upgrade.
This task depends upon

I've added a NoExtract directive for the next pacman release, and changed the NoUpgrade behaviour back to the way it was. This will fix your problem when the next pacman comes out.

Thanks
