DetailsDescription: If theres no space left on root filesystem during upgrading/installing packages, pacman screws whole system and leave packages installed just partially or uninstalled without reporting any error or warning. This should damage/remove system binaries and other files which are needed to boot, etc...
theres possibility of some another errors caused by pacman when no space left... In my case that made unusable binaries like: pacman (so i cant repair the system), halt, and many nescessary things... Steps to reproduce: install or upgrade few packages with little space left on / How to repair? - check diskspace before proceeding whole upgrade - check diskspace before installing each single package |
This task depends upon
