Hi,
With due respect to all developers and package maintainers, I think Arch needs to have policy that maintainer must be using the package they maintain. This will make sure that they dont simply bump the pkgver / pkgrel and release untested package.
Are you serious?
This bug can create a disaster for someone, if person blindly tries a regular fix to such problems i.e. --overwrite usr/sbin. Their whole system would crash as there will be no symlink to usr/bin and many executables would go missing. And probably will not boot.
You can't blame the developers / package maintainers for users doing stupid things.
