PKGBUILD(5) from pacman 5.0.2-2 says

An example PKGBUILD, useful for reference, is located in
/usr/share/pacman along with other example files such as a
ChangeLog and an install script.

But a ChangeLog isn't there.

$ ls -l /usr/share/pacman
total 20
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 7 12:53 keyrings

  • Field changed: Category (Packages: Core → Documentation)
  • Field changed: Reported Version ( → 5.0.1)
  • Field changed: Architecture (All → All)
Broken in https://git.archlinux.org/pacman.git/commit/?id=6268e66efaae690ea7df1a8b84913fdf8528874c

This was either forgotten, or the manpage assumes all distributions will provide the proto. Either one is wrong.
