[artix-general] /usr/lib/sysusers.d/{bind, dnsmasq, util-linux}.conf unknown modifier u!

[Javier]

Hello !

Since some recent upgrades back, I'm getting this errors when some upgrades occur:

> (1/3) Creating system user accounts...
> /usr/lib/sysusers.d/bind.conf:1: Unknown modifier 'u!'.
> /usr/lib/sysusers.d/dnsmasq.conf:1: Unknown modifier 'u!'.
> /usr/lib/sysusers.d/util-linux.conf:1: Unknown modifier 'u!'.

On the pacman logs the look like:

> [timestamp] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] /usr/lib/sysusers.d/bind.conf:1: Unknown modifier 'u!'.
> [timestamp] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] /usr/lib/sysusers.d/dnsmasq.conf:1: Unknown modifier 'u!'.
> [timestamp] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] /usr/lib/sysusers.d/util-linux.conf:1: Unknown modifier 'u!'.

They are owned by:

> % pacman -Qo /usr/lib/sysusers.d/bind.conf
> /usr/lib/sysusers.d/bind.conf is owned by bind 9.20.4-2

> % pacman -Qo /usr/lib/sysusers.d/dnsmasq.conf
> /usr/lib/sysusers.d/dnsmasq.conf is owned by dnsmasq 2.90-2

> % pacman -Qo /usr/lib/sysusers.d/util-linux.conf
> /usr/lib/sysusers.d/util-linux.conf is owned by util-linux 2.40.2-3

I started to notice this with the bind upgrade:

> [2025-01-03T11:46:22-0600] [ALPM] upgraded bind (9.20.4-1 -> 9.20.4-2)
> [2025-01-03T11:46:24-0600] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] /usr/lib/sysusers.d/bind.conf:1: Unknown modifier 'u!'.

Then with the dnsmasq upgrade we got an additional error:

> [2025-01-03T18:22:28-0600] [ALPM] upgraded doxygen (1.12.0-3 -> 1.13.1-1)
> [2025-01-03T18:22:28-0600] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] /usr/lib/sysusers.d/bind.conf:1: Unknown modifier 'u!'.
> [2025-01-03T18:22:28-0600] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] /usr/lib/sysusers.d/dnsmasq.conf:1: Unknown modifier 'u!'.

And with the util-linux upgrade the last additional error:

> [2025-01-04T11:25:56-0600] [ALPM] upgraded util-linux (2.40.2-2 -> 2.40.2-3)
> [2025-01-04T11:26:09-0600] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] /usr/lib/sysusers.d/bind.conf:1: Unknown modifier 'u!'.
> [2025-01-04T11:26:09-0600] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] /usr/lib/sysusers.d/dnsmasq.conf:1: Unknown modifier 'u!'.
> [2025-01-04T11:26:09-0600] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] /usr/lib/sysusers.d/util-linux.conf:1: Unknown modifier 'u!'.

Anything missing, whether with these packages, or perhaps the pacman utiliy in charge of the user accounts?  Perhaps there's some pending upgrade missing?

Thanks !
