Today there was the upgrade to msys2-launcher-git-0.3.18.58b5c72-1, but it finished with

[...]
(2/3) aggiornamento in corso di msys2-launcher-git [#####################] 100%
attenzione: /mingw32.ini è stato installato come /mingw32.ini.pacnew
attenzione: /mingw64.ini è stato installato come /mingw64.ini.pacnew
attenzione: /msys2.ini è stato installato come /msys2.ini.pacnew
[...]

Please, what I need to do now? Please don't tell to rename these manually like in

cp /msys2.ini.pacnew /msys2.ini
[...]

If so, you need a post install action which does this

cp /msys2.ini /msys2.ini.old
cp /msys2.ini.pacnew /msys2.ini 
[...]

At this point, if the user does not like the new .ini file can revert, (now) manually, ini.old --> .ini.

    As described on the page linked above, these files are user-customizable configuration. If they're different from the how they were installed by pacman, it won't try to overwrite them. This is by design and correct in my opinion. Closing, but further discussion is possible on other channels.
