[SOLVED] Failed to copy files to /etc/motd

Hello everyone! Recently i tried to upgrade with pacman -Syu. Everything went well except for notification in pacman

(13/19) Creating temporary files...
error: command failed to execute correctly

Everything was updated, but I want to know what kind of error it is
I started looking for a solution and found this and this methods
The first one did not help me, /usr/share/info/dir wasn't empty. Second solution, still not resolved and created 2 yhr ago, but. They recommended do command

/usr/bin/systemd-tmpfiles --create

I did that, and get error - Failed to copy files to /etc/motd: No such file or directory
I'll try create motd file it wasn't help
How can i fix this?

Re: [SOLVED] Failed to copy files to /etc/motd

Update: I just realized that you already provided the needed info.

Please post the content of /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/arch.conf and the output of mount.

Yas! Working! Thank you!
Btw, thats happened because i use self created script for cleaning system

#!/bin/bash
find / -type d -empty -not -path "/run/media/admin/DATA/*" -delete
find / -size 0 -delete
find / -name *.pacnew -delete

How can i exclude /usr/share/factory/etc/motd with find util?
And how critical is it if these empty files or folders are missing from the system?

The best way to exclude it is to not run any of those commands at all.  None of those are for system cleaning, they are for system breaking.

Specifically, the first two should not be done at all.  You could check the list of empty files and directories for any that are not owned by packages, but really this would just be better done for looking for any unowned files and considering pruning those.

As for the third, you should merge pacnew files, not just delete them.
