[solved] [pkgtools] you may want to clean /var/cache/pkgtools/lists

I noticed the above message when I updated my system tonight as text from pkgtools-24-3.

Does this mean I should rm -R that directory, or something else?  I haven't been able to find any information on it.

pkgfile is a different package now, and uses /var/cache/pkgfile for its cache location.
So, it's safe to remove /var/cache/pkgtools/list directory. I removed /var/cache/pkgtools and nothing bad happened (till now )
