The point is it does not work, as stated above, and yes I do have pacman 6.1.0-7
Just searched for pacman.install, from root, and it was not found.
Found it I think I downgraded pacman to 6.1.0-3 and got the pacnew file change it over and on update saw Removing depreciated SyncFirst line from pacman.conf file … this does not appear to work with 6.1.0-7 if the sync line is there.
Yes if the sync line is there 6.1.0-7 just gives a warning and does not remove it.
