Now, *there's* a simple fix. Don't do automatic updates via scripts.

Part of Arch's design is that users should keep an eye on what the
package manager does and heed any messages it gives. If the output
scrolls past quickly, a post-install message would get lost too, and
let's not even get into how bad an idea scripted updates are!

There is no change needed. This particular file is no different from all
the many many many other files and pacman messages in general that have
been *the responsibility of the user* to read end-of-story, since time
immemorial.
