[Bug]: Inconsistent ownership of /usr/lib/node_modules

[Kyuuhachi]

General description of the problem:

After adding vscode-langservers-extracted, aconfmgr started exhibiting strange behavior where every run toggles ownership of /usr/lib/node_modules between root and my user. This is possibly due to v-l-e being an AUR package, though other AUR packages don't have that behavior, so it's kinda weird.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

I don't know the full steps, but for me it started when I added

AddPackage --foreign vscode-langservers-extracted

Run aconfmgr apply several times to see the results.

Configuration:

AddPackage --foreign vscode-langservers-extracted

Expected result:

Ownership of /usr/lib/node_modules should be root:root.

Actual result:

Ownership of /usr/lib/node_modules toggles between root:root and me:me each time I run aconfmgr apply.

Additional context:

Using Yay for AUR, in case it matters.

It's a bug in the package. /usr/lib/node_modules should be owned by root in the package file (.pkg.tar.zst).

I see someone already reported the package bug:

Oh, okay. Only noticed symptoms when using it with ACM, so I figured that's where the problem was.
