It looks like it updated.
Reboot the system to apply new systemd configuration
might help

I’ve done that. Guess it’s just a matter of waiting for a pacnew file to be created.

I just tested and could not reproduce. I had updates for chromium, m-p-c and i actually created a copy of a .conf.pacnew to simulate it and it worked.

There is a new update to manjaro-pacnew-checker to 0.4.1-1 this morning. Let’s see what happens…

I created a new .conf.pacnew, but didn’t get a notification. So I did the old uninstall-install trick and it found the .pacnew file I created and completed the task. So I’ll mark this solved, just wish I knew what went wrong.
