[SOLVED] kde.pacnew warning after system update

Hello Arch brain trust!

Today after a big system update via pacman, I saw the following warning:

warning: /etc/pam.d/kde installed as /etc/pam.d/kde.pacnew

I have read this post on the wiki. I don't recall ever making any changes to /etc/pam.d/kde; however I did make some modifications in the past to /etc/pam.d/system-login, so I'm not sure if that's what has caused the warning.

Contents of /etc/pam.d/kde

#%PAM-1.0

auth            include         system-login

account         include         system-login

password        include         system-login

session         include         system-login

Contents of /etc/pam.d/kde.pacnew

#%PAM-1.0

auth       include                     system-local-login

account    include                     system-local-login

password   include                     system-local-login

session    include                     system-local-login

Should I accept the new version and replace /etc/pam.d/kde with /etc/pam.d/kde.pacnew?

If it helps shed any light, these are all the files in /etc/pam.d that contain an "include system-login" line:

• kde

• runuser

• runuser-l

• sddm

• system-local-login

• system-remote-login

• systemd-user

while, these are the one that contain an "include system-local-login" line:

• kde.pacnew

• kde-fingerprint

• kde-smartcard

• login

• sddm-autologin

Thank you in advance for any assistance with this.

Re: [SOLVED] kde.pacnew warning after system update

Thank you very much for the reply.

I too have just accepted the new version and all seems to be well after rebooting.

I did notice that there actually a few other .pacnew files in my /etc, I guess from past updates where I didn't notice the warning messages. I'll have to be more vigilant about them in the future!

Thanks again.
