Manjaro seems to suggest we occasionally handle .pacnew files: System Maintenance - Manjaro . Looking at their forums, there is a thread there 2023 about a tool to check for these automatically. This tool is supposed to popup a yad
window and offer to open/edit/delete them: Check and manage pacnew files - QA - Manjaro Linux Forum .
Checking pamac
, sure enough there is a manjaro-pacnew-checker
which appears to be it. Installed, rebooted, tried pacman
et. al. Haven’t noticed anything different yet. There are two executables, /bin/pacnew-checker
and /bin/pacnew-checker0
. Both of which cause some disk activity for about 30 seconds, but otherwise do not output anything.
Does anybody know, will this tool work in Mabox? Because I certainly have several .pacnew files that may need some tweaking:
me@my ~ $ sudo find / -name *.pacnew
