Noextract can not specify a directory exactly.
If I don't want Pacman to extract /usr/share/help directory, I have to append asterisk (*) like this: Noextract = usr/share/help* in pacman.conf. But this style of writing may cause help(X) not extract too. So if I don't want any mistakes, file system may leave many empty directories. This sucks. Can we fix it ?

That is different from what I say. You try Noextract = usr/share/help , without an asterisk, Pacman will extract the help directory.

Re: Noextract can not specify a directory exactly.
NoExtract = usr/share/help/*
I'm assuming an empty directory will be fine...

Already said this situation. Leave many empty directories.

Looks like a bug.

Re: Noextract can not specify a directory exactly.
NoExtract = usr/share/help/ usr/share/help/*
This works. I put * in front like
NoExtract = usr/share/help/* usr/share/help/It is more logical.
