Hi David,
the "description" is probably a "description" in
/var/lib/pacman/local/*/.
I had not looked there! However, that seems clean as well, e.g.:
[13:57 2pi:.../lib/pacman/local] # cat normalize-0.7.7-7/desc
%NAME%
normalize
%VERSION%
0.7.7-7
%BASE%
normalize
%DESC%
A tool for adjusting the volume of WAV files to a standard level
%URL%
http://normalize.nongnu.org
...
hexdump -Cv normalize-0.7.7-7/desc shows no stray chars.
FWIW it seems to be unrelated to the issue, but I run
diff /etc/pacman.conf /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew
and
diff /etc/makepkg.conf /etc/makepkg.conf.pacnew
to find out that on my install /etc/pacman.conf is still good, but
/etc/makepkg.conf does differ a lot.
I do as well. In fact on this machine (2pi), both pacman.conf and makepkg.conf
are the new versions and unmodified from the Arch files.
Still, on update just a few minutes ago, it still complains about normalize,
9X as well (which is curious - why the hell is is complaining about the same
thing 9 times?)
Thank you for your help!
