First: thanks for this awesome tool. But now, I’ve got the same pacman.log results as seen here…
Apparently, I don’t have any currently infected foreign packages per [1], but per [2] I previously had some packages (back in time) that had subsequently become infected during these recent troubling times for orphan packages.
However, since they’re now gone (i.e., I uninstalled them without having updated from the AUR when recent news of orphaned package attacks broke), I presume I can ignore this pacman.log warning.
QUESTION: Assuming my logic is reasonable, is there then a way to refresh my pacman log history - to avoid getting this warning forever going forward? Would a log reset or erasure wipe out other critical pacman functionality?
@UncleSpellbinder
Good catch,
And thanks for confirming the wording fix worked.
Turns out 3 of your 4 apps (Gearlever, MEGAsync, Eloquent) were a different problem than Conky’s — they’re Flatpak apps, and archcanary didn’t yet recognize Flatpak’s export directories as a trusted location.
Fixed now:
git pull && ./install.sh# to get the latest commits
pCloud will still show up — that one’s a manually-installed binary in a non-standard spot, so there’s no safe way to auto-recognize it. The warning itself now tells you the exact command to mark it known-good:
archcanary --allowlist-add=autostart:"/home/wombat/.config/pcloud/pcloud-launcher.sh"
Btw the answer is in the warning:
If you recognize this app (e.g. an AppImage/Flatpak launcher or a
personal script), mark it known-good: archcanary --allowlist-add=autostart:"/home/wombat/.config/pcloud/pcloud-launcher.sh"
![]()
It says pcloud-launcher and gearleever are “already added” to the allowlist. Yet pcloud launcher still shows up as a warning while gearlever shows as “info”…

Sorry this is the gui. I will have a look. in the list todo. You can ignore it … you probably installed archcanary as user without --system. Nothing to worry about.
I will come back about it ![]()
Hi @made-lief, this is the output from my sudo ./archcanary.sh --full scan. Could you advise what action I need to take for the DKMS review?

Archcanary v0.1.22
I skipped aurscan from the project. It has difficulties with packaging for the aur. It is not in aur at the moment. It is a llm service to check a package before installing.
WTAKO is the replacer.

Followed the various steps to complete full scope scans, but continue to get the pacman.log history warnings …
Assuming I’m comfortable with the specific citations seen in section [2] (not bothering to post again, as I had previously above) and not worried about having once used these packages a long time ago before uninstalling them, is there a way to clear them out of the pacman.log file to avoid getting these unnecessary warnings?
Perhaps: If I simply delete the pacman.log file itself will that do serious damage to current pacman features and related historical tracking ?
Or perhaps just rename it to pacman.log.bak in case you need or want it back.
I’m also using LXQT so not sure if your calling the correct “Sudo box” Maybe why I’m getting the error still. I did the --system like I said earlier but it still does the same thing in LXQT
That was after the last update.
