[solved] How does Pacman handle config files?

Hi,

I've read that Pacman handles config files by comparing their hashes in 3 different statuses.
(which are in current status, new status, and original status)

The current config file's hash is easily obtained, and so does the new ones'.
But how does Pacman get the original one's hash?

Can someone tell me, please?

Thank you, and happy new year,
bsdson

It is stored in the pacman database.  e.g. look at /var/lib/pacman/local/pacman-3.2.1-2/files
