I'm sure this isn't the first time I hit this bug ...

What happened:
Dave creates pambase, /etc/pam.d/other moves from pam to pambase.
I run -Syu, pambase gets installed before pam 1.1.5-4, no warnings, update done.
Then I discover sudo not working, run pacman -Qqk after some digging around and see /etc/pam.d/other missing.
Reinstalled pambase, everything fine again.

Weird.
This task depends upon

Please post your pacman.log so I can point out where you ran -Syu with --force.

--force is only safe with single packages, and even then.... caveat emptor.
