Hello everyone,
how do I see package post installation notes that pacman shows right after installation (if there are ones)?
I was dumb enough to run package update over ssh without tmux or screen, the session link broke so I could not see the openvpn package message upon switching to openvpn:network user:group strict, so I've spent hours on problem discovery with "Permission denied" error on unit start.
I tried to use pacman -Qc openvpn but it showed me "No changelog" message.

You go to the package page (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/) and search for your package. On the top right in the "Package Actions" box there are the "Source Files". If there is anything relevant, you'll find a .install file, that contains the stuff like post_upgrade. See here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#install
EDIT: Also: /var/log/pacman.log, I think under the [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] handle.

Thanks, this was it.
