Details

As paccache is basically a pacman's tool (right?), it would be reasonable to read the default cache directory from /etc/pacman.conf
Instead, the default value is currently hardcoded (from paccache -h):

-c, --cachedir <dir> scan 'cachedir' for packages (default: /var/cache/pacman/pkg).

It would be nice to change this to something along the lines of:

-c, --cachedir <dir> scan 'cachedir' for packages (default: whatever is specified in /etc/pacman.conf, or else /var/cache/pacman/pkg).
This task depends upon
