Details

systemd 209 started to use the vercmp command in the post_common function of its install scriptlet. This gets executed on a fresh install although pacman might not be installed yet. If this happens, the following error will be printed but the installation runs fine.

Fixed in SVN. It's easier than this -- there's no $2 on post_install, so we can just protect the call to vercmp.
