Details

I currently have a NoExtract entry that looks like this:
NoExtract = usr/share/locale/* !usr/share/locale/en/* !usr/share/locale/en_US/* !usr/share/locale/locale.alias

With a build from current git HEAD, I get:
...
warning: could not get file information for usr/share/locale/fi/LC_MESSAGES/gnupg2.mo
warning: could not get file information for usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/gnupg2.mo
warning: could not get file information for usr/share/locale/gl/LC_MESSAGES/gnupg2.mo
...
For every file that is not being extracted. Anything that I specify a specific file for (NoExtract = etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist) seems to be fine.
This task depends upon

Actually, I'm not sure the single file is fine, as that file exists where the others don't.

Can you post complete --debug output?
Comment by Allan McRae (Allan) - Monday, 21 December 2015, 06:29 GMT
Also, are those files still on your system?
Comment by Doug Newgard (Scimmia) - Monday, 21 December 2015, 06:35 GMT
No, those files are not on my system because they were never extracted from the previous package, and they were correctly not extracted on upgrade, either.

Please attach output in the future (and encourage others to as well!).

I see where the error is - I guess not many of use actually used the Diskspace option in combination with NoExtract...
