[Solved] Pacman Database query issue

Hi everyone

I have issue with pacman -F* any command (ex. pacman -Fo dig) it says "warning: database file for 'core,extra,community,multilib' does not exist" but I have all database files in /var/lib/pacman/sync/ and they are updates by pacman -Syyu.

pacman -Q and all other commands work. what am I doing wrong ?

Re: [Solved] Pacman Database query issue

You have package databases, but (presumably) not the file databases. You need to sync these first. See

man pacman | less -p "FILE OPTIONS"
