so my question is - can i remove above files?
I would like to have files tracked by pacman as many as possible. It seems that these files are old and definitely not tracked by pacman.

Re: cleaning the list detected by `lostfiles` script (/usr/lib/ghc)

I would recommend trying out pacreport. I used lostfiles once and like you my problem with it is in deciding which ones are safe to delete.
Regarding your output, are you using this ghc package or is this a dependency of another package?

Re: cleaning the list detected by `lostfiles` script (/usr/lib/ghc)

@d_fajaro

thank you. I tried pacreport
results are similar

basically i am going to remove files in old ghc version (before 8.6.5). Probably it will be ok
