What's the output of pacman -Qo /etc/gshadow ?
Comment by Greg Meyer (oggb4mp3) - Friday, 26 August 2005, 03:18 GMT
# pacman -Qo /etc/gshadow
/etc/gshadow is owned by filesystem 0.7-5

I think I figured out the problem. gshadow is not in the NoUpgrade list in /etc/pacman.conf

NoUpgrade = etc/passwd etc/group etc/shadow etc/sudoers

I added /etc/gshadow and filesystem updated no problem, Creating a .etc.gshadow.pacnew file. So I guess the bug is in the pacman package and not the filesystem package.
