[manjaro-dev] [pacman-dev] v5.0 is out now

[Guillaume Benoit]

Note that all new pacman -F won't work on manjaro because it does not 
support files databases in its repos.
We should think to implement it.

>    - pkgver() and prepare() are now run with --noextract (FS#43498,

>    - Only update database if the entire operation succeeds
