Mismatch Warnings

Hello All,

Short intro, I ended up stumbling across these issues because of another completely different problem. Initially I had an error on boot which advised the mssql engine failed to load so I went looking throughout the Google ether and came across a thread
HERE that advised to run:

pacman -Qkk 1>/dev/null

The output of this command is:

So obviously I have some serious issues here but have no idea how they arose or how to fix them. Could anyone point me in the right direction to get started? Is it even worth fixing, or should I just nuke it and start again?

Then those are not serious issues and can be ignored.

Re: Mismatch Warnings

They look harmless but can be inquired.

warning: java-runtime-common: /usr/lib/jvm/default (Symlink path mismatch)
warning: java-runtime-common: /usr/lib/jvm/default (Modification time mismatch)
warning: java-runtime-common: /usr/lib/jvm/default-runtime (Symlink path mismatch)
warning: java-runtime-common: /usr/lib/jvm/default-runtime (Modification time mismatch)

those 2 files will be changed every time the user switches default java setting thorugh the archlinux-java command .

Re: Mismatch Warnings

Thanks for the replies

So these warnings are innocuous? If they are that's fine Ill leave them be however it would be great to understand how such warnings occurred....

These files are updated by depmod after the kernel itself is installed as well as modules from other packages.

If the file-system supports file caps the above are switched to use those instead of setuid.

warning: systemd: /var/log/journal (GID mismatch)

The systemd-journal user has its gid dynamically assigned at package installation time.  The directory ownership is adjusted to match that gid.
