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" |
