Last year I had to do a root canal. The anesthesia did not took effect in my tooth and the dentist said that she could not apply more anesthesia cause I already had took an amount equivalent to 5 persons. It was agonizing.

Arch wasn't affected at all, cause the backdoor trigger was only on deb and rpm distros.
