From 5d30c5c0b76e76b336abd2486ac6d24dd972fcc3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chantry Xavier Date: Fri, 5 Oct 2007 17:10:51 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] pacman/pacman.c : put back root check even if -r is specified. Root is needed for most install / remove operation, because it's needed for chrooting, for running scriptlets.
