And here the dates of the files:


$ ls -lh

So when copying over from HDD to SSD I seem to have taken care of keeping the filestamps as I did not have my SSD in year 2013.

If pacman had a bug in the past which did not properly move .pacnew into place (or maybe the "move into place feature" came some time later). Could a existing ".pacnew", created from older pacman versions, cause issues here?

This is a pretty old Arch install. Never reinstalled. Always just updated. The oldest date I could find is August 2012.
