Did you bother running pacman -Qkk as I suggested previously?

Yup. Didn’t do anything

Yup. Didn’t do anything

What do you mean, didn’t do anything? If there was no output then there’s something fundamentally broken.

It had output zero files altered. problem still exists. “DIDN’T DO ANYTHING”

Which means there’s something fundamentally broken. There should be multiple altered files (shadow, passwd, group, …).

$ sudo pacman -Qkk filesystem backup file: filesystem: /etc/fstab (Modification time mismatch)
backup file: filesystem: /etc/fstab (Size mismatch)
backup file: filesystem: /etc/fstab (MD5 checksum mismatch)
backup file: filesystem: /etc/fstab (SHA256 checksum mismatch)
backup file: filesystem: /etc/group (Modification time mismatch)
backup file: filesystem: /etc/group (Size mismatch)
…

The command was not as “fix” it was a “diagnosis”.

I don’t care about this, it can easily be faked. You were asking the exact same question this morning on the endeavour group.

Based on the fact you had multiple files changed on your fs outside pacman, this would indicate you running with some extra repo
