DetailsI just checked for a way to find modified package files and was pleased to find the -Qkk option of pacman. However, although the output lists the modified files correctly, the summary line does wrongly claim that zero files have been modified.
For instance: ``` $ pacman -Qkk pacman-mirrorlist backup file: pacman-mirrorlist: /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist (Modification time mismatch) backup file: pacman-mirrorlist: /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist (Size mismatch) pacman-mirrorlist: 3 total files, 0 altered files ``` Pacman version is 5.0.2-2 |
This task depends upon

Said modified files are backup files. We expect those to be modified, and thus they're not counted in the summary. You can suppress the output of those backup files and get a more concise summary by adding -q.

I see. Thank you for the explaination. The distinction of package files and backup files was new to me. Guess my bug report is invalid then.
