You won't be able to cd to that file- it is a file and not a directory. Can you do "ls -l /var/lib/pacman/local/acpid-1.0.6-1/" for us?
So you should have put high attention to its output. Did you? If so, did everything go fine? Otherwise can you paste the output?
You might also have a look at pacman-optimize code, it is a simple script. IIRC, it is supposed to make a backup of the local database, so you should check if you have one.
Otherwise if you used locate before, it can be a nice trick to rebuild your local database.
You can also use /var/log/pacman.log .
but i've several packages, and do it manually is not a good option:
~ # pacman -Qqe > pkglist
~ # cat pkglist | grep error | wc --line
323
acpid is one of the packages that i've reinstalled.
trying with another one gives me:
~ $ ls -l /var/lib/pacman/local/dosbox-0.72-4/
total 0
i think that pacman-optmize didn't advice, but i am not sure.
Edit: it appears the temporary directory is removed at the end of the script.
i will try to locate the database.
i've rebooted. this error appears before lunch, and i've shutdowned the laptop : x
it was a poor solution, but it worked.
first i've saved all the packages that i've installed on my system:
~ # pacman -Qqe > pkglist
this list has lines with the errors above mencioned.
has a filter i've written this piece of code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
open INFILE, "pkglist" or die $!;
open OUTFILE, ">errlist" or die $!;
my $line;
my $next_line;
while($line=<INFILE>) {
if($line =~ /error/) {
$next_line=<INFILE>;
print $next_line;
print OUTFILE $next_line;
}
}
then since that i've had aur packages installed on my system, i've made:
yaourt -Sf $(cat errlist)
the final result: everything ok. at least it's seems so.
