ACL removed after update

Hi,

   I've set an ACL to shadow file as an application linked with PAM and running under low privileged user needs read access. The problem is this ACL disappears after some updates and I can't figure out what is causing the issue. Probably to create a pacman hook will solve the issue but definitely won't help to understand the problem. Did somebody faced a similar issue before?

ACL has been set using: `setfacl -m u:git:r /etc/shadow`

Thanks!

Nevermind, found the solution just in case it helps.

It wasn't related to any update, every time an user changes its password the file is rebuilt and the ACL disappears.
