it seems the 1.4.0-3 removed the tally/tally2 modules and (for some
reason) I had
`auth required pam_tally2.so` in /etc/pam.d/system-login.
Of course that broke the login and I had to rescue the installation
from a bootable USB.
I wonder if there can be some pam-lint tool that checks your

I often find myself using the `assume-installed`[1] option of pacman
when doing upgrades, since I want to avoid some (for me) nonsensical
dependencies to be installed.
Is it possible to configure this in some config file, so I don't have
to remember to type it all the time?

what is this "usb port" that you expect?
USBtiny is a HID device as far as I can remember.

This can (also) be fixed if Arch implements the `kerne-install` [1]
mechanism to update the boot-loader stanzas.

I would say that the reason NM is not on Arch
At this moment packages in core/extra are:
nginx 1.12.1-1
pacman 5.0.2-1
nginx -V has
--with-cc-opt='-march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe
-fstack-protector-strong -fno-plt -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2'
but the pacman 5.0.2-1 version of /etc/makepkg.conf doesn't have the

I've seen some talk about it from a year ago, but the discussion seems

nope, it works fine.
alas, ALSA support in Firefox has become unmaintained …
this means if Arch reverts to ALSA it'll be shipping worse code just
for the few people that choose to not use Pulseaudio (for their own
reasons).

this should fail since you don't have the resolved service running.

Does any of the "requiires" of texinfo[1] actualy require it?
