[SOLVED] Lots of errors generated when updating texlive-bin

EDIT: Never mind, the home page of Arch has info on this. Please delete this thread

Hello all,

today I ran 'pacman -Syu' and found three updates: texlive-bin, texlive-core and texlive-science. Upon upgrading texlive-bin, I recieved the following errors:

advarsel: /etc/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg installert som /etc/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg.pacnew

 done.
 (logs are under /var/lib/texmf/web2c/<engine>/<formatname>.log)

However, as pacman updated the other two packages, no errors were reported:

Is this something I should investigate? Is it a packaging bug? The mirror I use is in sync as far as I can tell.

Thank you for any replies!
Cheers

Ok then, I did mark this [SOLVED] because it is not sure the OP will come back here.
And because others may stumble into this trap as well..
