SOLVED update blanks /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf

I just ran pacman -Syu and udisks2 was updated with "warning: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf saved as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf.pacsave". When I looked at the diffs, I noticed that it essentially had removed all contents from that file.

Is there any reason why udisks2 would do this? When I check pacman -Qo /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf, nothing is reported as "owning" that conf file, which is correct, since I created it myself...?

The udisks2 update doesn't touch anything under /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ ;
it's the xf86-input-synaptics package which manages a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf and can make a backup of it when updating.

Apart from this, I don't know why your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf was renamed, but it's not the udisks2 update.

Sorry - the package name itself, that was a brain-fart on my side.

Wow - I would swear that originally there never was a 50-synaptics.conf, or I would have modified that one instead of creating one from scratch.

There wasn't. The file 10-synaptics.conf was one created by Arch. With version 1.6.2-3, they switched to the upstream config, which is 50-synaptics.conf.

Can you remove the udisks2 mention in the title, please.
So as this thread doesn't show off in a search for udisks2 problem, because it has nothing to do with udisks2. Thanks.
