I would add usr/bin/sh to my pacman.conf's NoExtract, then bash would be updated, but the link wouldn't be overwritten, I'm already using it for other reasons: [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ pacman -Ql bash | grep /usr/bin/sh bash /usr/bin/sh [rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ grep NoExtract /etc/pacman.conf NoExtract = usr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop usr/share/xsessions/gnome-fallback.desktop usr/share/xsessions/gnome-flashback-compiz.desktop usr/share/xsessions/openbox-kde.desktop
