DetailsDescription:
When paccache is run as root, it prints out an error and quits. As a result, it cannot be run as a cronjob. It's nice that it can prompt for privilege escalation if needed, but is there any reason to not work when it's started as root? Additional info: * pacman-contrib version 4.0.3-1 * The code responsible for the behavior is in lines 250-253 of /usr/bin/paccache: if (( ! UID )); then error "Do not run this script as root. You will be prompted for privilege escalation." exit 42 fi Steps to reproduce: sudo paccache -r |
This task depends upon
