Hi,
This morning's `pacman -Su' encountered
(10/13) upgrading mlocate [######################] 100%
warning: directory permissions differ on /var/lib/mlocate/ filesystem: 750 package: 755
(11/13) upgrading xkeyboard-config [######################] 100%
when upgrading from version 0.26-6 to 0.26.git.20170220-1.
Sure enough, afterwards
drwxr-x--- 2 root locate 4096 Jun 10 00:01 /var/lib/mlocate
-rw-r----- 1 root locate 16287372 Jun 10 00:01 /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db
https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/mlocate#n58
seems to take care that /var/lib/locate is 750 on line 58, but that's
`locate', not `mlocate', so perhaps `mlocate' needs a similar set up?
