:warning: Attention! :warning:

  • This update brings along a .pacnew file for /etc/passwd. This .pacnew should be ignored and deleted.

  • There is also a .pacnew for /etc/shells. Do not blindly copy this over your existing /etc/shells, because — as has happened before — the .pacnew file is missing the required entries for zsh, and without those entries, you will not be able to log into either GNOME or Xfce. Logging into Plasma would still work, but unless you’ve changed your konsole profile to use bash, your konsole would be non-functional.
