opentmpfiles-setup failes to start (everything works)

I don't think I've changed anything in my setup to introduce the bug. Just one day I started my computer and I have had those logs, despite them I haven't had a single bug (Chromium, which is not even my main browser, fails to launch videos but it probably has no links)

Important part of the log (I had to copy by hand so I didn't copy everything):

I used LARBS https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/LARBS to build my config. It's worked since months and only lately I've had this weird logs when openrc starts.

What's the output of pacman -Qkki etmpfiles (the package contaning the tmpfiles binary)?

I'm not sure where that provision.conf comes from but I'm pretty sure it is indeed formatted improperly. I don't believe "f^" is valid for tmpfiles.

I used LARBS https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/LARBS to build my config. It's worked since months and only lately I've had this weird logs when openrc starts.

Something changed, and it looks like maybe filestem corruption?

If it's filesystem corruption, wouldn't other files be corrupted ? Idk.

If it's just a corrupted file, I have a USB stick, can I boot with artix openrc on it and copy-paste the file?
