It is very wrong; the package doesn't even install during the post-build lint checks and should therefore never have been released by the maintainer. In upstream commit https://github.com/TigerVNC/tigervnc/commit/1af1cfdf8709dd1a5574efa19fb4f0e68a98021e#diff-5257b0445ad1f985acf062f6589461df a new file got added, and installed to CMAKE_INSTALL_SBINDIR, which defaults to "sbin" and on Arch must be "bin". This failed to happen; it's a bug in the package. Under no circumstances should the filesystem layout be deleted and replaced by this package as it would break everything... https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/67861 is the correct solution. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
