Hi David, the "description" is probably a "description" in /var/lib/pacman/local/*/.
I had not looked there! However, that seems clean as well, e.g.: [13:57 2pi:.../lib/pacman/local] # cat normalize-0.7.7-7/desc %NAME% normalize %VERSION% 0.7.7-7 %BASE% normalize %DESC% A tool for adjusting the volume of WAV files to a standard level %URL% http://normalize.nongnu.org ... hexdump -Cv normalize-0.7.7-7/desc shows no stray chars.
FWIW it seems to be unrelated to the issue, but I run diff /etc/pacman.conf /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew and diff /etc/makepkg.conf /etc/makepkg.conf.pacnew to find out that on my install /etc/pacman.conf is still good, but /etc/makepkg.conf does differ a lot.
I do as well. In fact on this machine (2pi), both pacman.conf and makepkg.conf are the new versions and unmodified from the Arch files.
Still, on update just a few minutes ago, it still complains about normalize, 9X as well (which is curious - why the hell is is complaining about the same thing 9 times?)
Thank you for your help! -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
