DetailsDescription:
I ran 'pacman -Rsn syslinux' when /boot was mounted read only. An error was printed: error: cannot remove file '/boot/': Read-only file system and pacman exited. No files were removed (on /boot or elsewhere) but syslinux was removed from the database. I haven't tried to reproduce this with any other package, or with anything else mounted read only. Additional info: * package version(s) pacman 4.1.2-6 syslinux 6.03-2 * config and/or log files etc. The pacman log indicated that syslinux was successfully removed: [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -Rsn syslinux' [PACMAN] removed syslinux (6.03-2) Steps to reproduce: Install syslinux Mount /boot read only Uninstall syslinux |
