(and the list goes on)
and i try to cd one of the paths errors, and:
~ # cd /var/lib/pacman/local/acpid-1.0.6-1/depend bash: cd: /var/lib/pacman/local/acpid-1.0.6-1/depend: No such file or directory
i've already tried: pacman -Scc and then pacman -Syy. but the error pressists.
does anyone knows how to solve this error?
there should br a backup in /var/lib/pacman.bak and/or /var/lib/pacman/pacman.bak sorry if this is received twice
