accountsservice directory permissions mismatch [SOLVED]

The 0.6.55-3 -> 22.04.62-2 update shows a warning:

warning: directory permissions differ on /var/lib/AccountsService/
filesystem: 755  package: 775

If I interpret 0001-build-Properly-apply-modes-in-meson_post_install.py.patch correctly, the intend is to only set /var/lib/AccountsService/icons to 775, while keeping its parent /var/lib/AccountsService/ as 755, but that is exactly what my current state is (after the update):

$ ls -la /var/lib/AccountsService/
total 16
drwxr-xr-x  4 root root 4096 Nov 19  2018 .
drwxr-xr-x 28 root root 4096 Feb 14 00:00 ..
drwxrwxr-x  2 root root 4096 Oct 16  2018 icons
drwx------  2 root root 4096 Nov 19  2018 users

Was this pacman warning generated before permissions were applied then? It doesn't look right to me to set /var/lib/AccountsService/ to 775?

Crap - I searched for bugs (https://bugs.archlinux.org/?project=1&s … ntsservice) before posting and this one didn't show up, because it's closed.
