Are you sure you're not just hitting the new(old at this point)

That would mean you mistyped the password a few times, but afterwards

I noticed that pam 1.6.1-2 breaks sudo. Every time I tried to enter my
password with a sudo command, it tells me my password is incorrect. Of

the output of `pacman -Qii sudo pambase`. 1.6.1-2 works here.
Hello. Before this hit mails/MLs, I had a talk with Arvid in

When these crop up from time to time on update, do we just fix them

I installed kicad and kicad-library (7.0.10-1) using pacman. After I

Hello. Will the gajim and python-nbxmpp packages in the community

Hello,
Packages are updated, when it’s possible to update them. A typical
blocker is the dependency tree. In both directions, though in the case
of Gajim it’s likely to be only dependencies. Currently
I just wanted to confirm that the 300-500KiB I was getting in download was
normal or if I had missed something on the wiki page. Even if slow, the

Right to the point. A systemd timer script had a too strict Umask setting.
Are you invoking pacman in an unattended manner in a systemd timer?
If yes, you probably have another problem. I suppose you mean calling

scenario

Pacman could do with a feature to bypass authors packages and keys so
those don't disrupt updates.
That would mean installing packages that are not bearing valid
