Pacman option to list "unknown" files
Hi,
I thought there was an option in Pacman to list files in the filesystem which are not part of any package; in other words, an option to search for files that are manually added to the filesystem (outside the /home folder of course). I was looking for this option, but I cannot find it anymore. Now I am unsure whether it really exists.
In other words: can anybody tell me how to search for files on the filesystem (and outside the /home folder) which are not part of a package?

No, but there are some scripts floating around to do this. See:

Re: Pacman option to list "unknown" files
Thanks alot! I find the short script from the first reply (with the commands find, pacman -Ql, and comm -23) to be working excellently.
