Some *-s6 service scripts have files named "conf" within their service 
directory (/etc/s6/sv/service/conf).

With the latest upgrade, the location of such files have been moved to 
/etc/s6/config/package.conf

If you have made custom edits to the conf files, pacman will leave them 
in the /etc/s6/sv/service directories and append a .pacsave to the files.



It is recommended to copy any changes you made to the original conf 
files over to the new ones and delete the old .pacsave files as soon as 
possible to avoid any issues should you remove the service in the future 
with pacman.



Additionally, do not blindly overwrite a new conf file with an old 
.pacsave one since it is not guaranteed these are exactly the same. 
Apologies for the inconvenience.
