files in /usr/lib/perl5/5.28 not tracked by pacman and need rebuilt
I have just done a large update that required the hplip p11-kit-trust fixes listed on the frontpage. After the update I installed mosh and came across this warning.
WARNING: 2 file(s) in /usr/lib/perl5/5.28 are not tracked by pacman and need to be rebuilt.

Re: files in /usr/lib/perl5/5.28 not tracked by pacman and need rebuilt
And ... what's your question?
I have a few: what are those to files from? Why are they there? Do you need them? Have you been installing perl packages/modules as root from cpan?

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't even know what cpan is, so no, at least not manually.
I guess the obvious question was how do "rebuild" this, as pacman suggests (or fix it in any other way). I don't know why this is moved to NC since I got it during an update.
Can I just remove these? Would it harm the system? Will it cause more problems later if I did? Will pacman keep complaining about this?

Re: files in /usr/lib/perl5/5.28 not tracked by pacman and need rebuilt
1. yes
2 & 3 maybe some outdated perl stuff will miss it, but running things intended for 5.28 with perl 5.30+ installed will break those things anyway.
4. yes, every time that hook is run.
Tl;DR : removing them does way less harm then keeping them

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.
clean chroot building not flexible enough ?

On top of that, these files are not code/executable - one is documentation, you could read it to see what it is documentation for.
