pacman -Qk (ttf-ms-fonts issue)
Today I found out that I had a corrupted core/dialog package so I learned about pacman -Qk which checks package integrity.
However, it seems that ttf-ms-fonts installs temporary executables into the /tmp and then deletes them. But pacman still thinks they should be there
% sudo pacman -Qk |grep -v '0 missing'

Re: pacman -Qk (ttf-ms-fonts issue)
It's normal, for the same reason you guessed. They have to be done this way since the license requires them to be distributed in the original CAB archives. The postinstall script for the package then extracts them and installs them "properly".
