Dear maintainer,

The 'checkservices' script in archlinux-contrib version 20210710-1 can be enhanced by the pacman-contrib package, as it contains the 'pacdiff' utility. If pacdiff is missing, checkservices will warn the user about it:

"""
:: Run pacdiff
/usr/bin/checkservices: line 284: pacdiff: command not found
"""

checkservices runs fine without archlinux-contrib installed, but I suggest that you add it as an optional dependency because that would allow users to find it faster.
This task depends upon

It's still early for me, I of course meant that checkservices runs fine without pacman-contrib installed.
