[Solved] pacman -Scc --noconfirm

Radioactiveman · 2012-01-12 16:40:01

Hi all,

the command

pacman -Scc --noconfirm

doesn't work as I expect it.

I want a command which cleans everything from the pacman cache (answers "yes" to all queries).
How is this possible?

There should be a better alternative than:

rm /var/cache/pacman/pkg/*.xz

Thanks,
– Radioactiveman

Thanks, solved with:

sudo bash -c "echo 'j' | sudo pacman -Scc >/dev/null 2>&1"

echo 'j' because pacman speaks German with me.
