Today's util-linux update brings errors

Hello, today's updates bring me this in the console:
Code: [Select]
:: Processing package changes...

/usr/lib/sysusers.d/util-linux.conf:1: Unknown modifier 'u!'.
(2/4) Creating temporary files...
(3/4) Reloading device manager configuration...
(4/4) Updating the info directory file...

Should I be worried about these?

/usr/lib/sysusers.d/bind.conf:1: Unknown modifier 'u!'.
/usr/lib/sysusers.d/util-linux.conf:1: Unknown modifier 'u!'.

My util-linux.conf is like this now:

Code: [Select]
u! uuidd 68 "uuid daemon" -
g rfkill - - -

The previous version of util-linux-2.40.2-2 had this:

Code: [Select]
u uuidd 68
g rfkill - - -

The same with bind...

The previous version of bind-9.20.4-1 had the file /usr/lib/sysusers.d/bind.conf:

Code: [Select]
u named 40 "BIND DNS Server" -

Now the version bind-9.20.4-2 has this:

Code: [Select]
u! named 40 "BIND DNS Server" -

Same here! dnsmasq and unbound are affected too. Though I only noticed the error messages on boot:

 * Setting up sysusers.d entries ...
/usr/lib/sysusers.d/bind.conf:1: Unknown modifier 'u!'.
/usr/lib/sysusers.d/dnsmasq.conf:1: Unknown modifier 'u!'.
/usr/lib/sysusers.d/unbound.conf:1: Unknown modifier 'u!'.
(but looking a pacman.log, it warned me too)

Maybe it's some new soystemd sysusers syntax not yet supported outside of it?

If you want to test, you can install udev, libudev, esysusers and etmpfiles from system-gremlins. That should fix the errors, and that's what it indeed did on a test box.

Thank you! I'd better wait for these packages to arrive as stable ones. Will pin them down temporarily.
