With the change in the recent version in testing (2.8.5-3), pacman warns

warning: directory permissions differ on /var/log/audit/
filesystem: 755 package: 700

Is that still a bug in the PKGBUILD or do I have to change the permissions by hand?

To clarify, after the upgrade I get:

$ stat -c %a /var/log/audit
755
