Description:

Specifying a file as NoExtract= in pacman.conf does not prevent that file from being removed on relevant package upgrade. This behavior (making a file immutable) is not documented in pacman.conf(5), but can be generally expected.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
- pacman 4.1.2-5

Steps to reproduce:

* add "NoExtract = usr/bin/ld" to /etc/pacman.conf
* issue "sudo pacman -S binutils"
* issue "ld"
* command interpreter answers "bash: ld: command not found"
This task depends upon
