When a package is corrupt and you try to install it pacman
only notifies you that _a_ package is corrupt. In my opinion
pacman should either automatically remove the package (who
needs a corrupt package?) or prompt the user what to do with
it. The very least it could do is tell you which package was
corrupt so you can manually delete it instead of doing a
pacman -Scc or something.
Attatched is a log of pacman trying to update the system. I had problems downloading the abiword package, I guess that's what got corrupt. as you can see pacman isn't being very suggestive as to what was corrupt. |
This task depends upon
pacman.log
