Trying to md5sum my /usr, I found that some pyc files have incorrect permissions set. The files are known in the database though (pacman -Qo)

Permissions are correct here.

What are the permission for these files on your system ?

Also please check permissions on
/
/usr
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/python2.7

The permissions of /usr/lib/python2.7 are fine. It seems that the files have been regenerated by some process.

$ ls -altr

I cannot remember what I was doing at that moment, no pacman upgrades at least. journald is broken again and does not show any logs. (fsck you journald, why can't you fscking be reliable? Restarting systemd-journald does not help, `logger 'Give my logs back!'` does not print anything, /dev/log does not exist if that matters.) [/end rant about journald failure]

Now I need to figure out why these files are regenerated in the first place, python shouldn't randomly place files over the filesystem.
