[SOLVED] Uninstall imagemagick6 package when pacman don't see it

I have installed imagemagick6 package some time ago and then with full system update it was updated to imagemagick7.
Now I have two imagemagicks, but pacman only see this newer as installed.
I want uninstall the older imagemagick6 if it is not needed to other progs or system librarys but don't know how.

The remaining package provides the library files. If it wasn't needed it wouldn't be in the repo and you would've received a warning during the replacement update. However these library packages are likely to still be needed.

Re: [SOLVED] Uninstall imagemagick6 package when pacman don't see it

Welcome to the arch linux forums xerxes_.  imagemagick6 conflicts with imagemagick so both packages should not be able to be installed at the same time.
What leads you to believe imagemagick6 is still installed?  Does the system's pacman.log not show its removal?

Re: [SOLVED] Uninstall imagemagick6 package when pacman don't see it

I found in /var/log/pacman.log something like this:

[2017-12-18 11:46] [ALPM] upgraded imagemagick (6.9.9.25-1 -> 7.0.7.15-1)
[2017-12-18 11:46] [ALPM] upgraded imagemagick-doc (6.9.9.25-1 -> 7.0.7.15-1)

So if imagemagick was upgraded from 6 to 7 why I see /etc/ImageMagick-6/ and /etc/ImageMagick-7/ dir both with files?

whereis returns something only for imagemagick6:

whereis imagemagick6
imagemagick6: /usr/lib/imagemagick6

pacsearch -n imagemagick
extra/imagemagick 7.0.7.28-1 [zainstalowano]
    An image viewing/manipulation program
extra/imagemagick-doc 7.0.7.28-1 [zainstalowano]
    An image viewing/manipulation program (manual and API docs)
extra/imagemagick6 6.9.9.40-1
    An image viewing/manipulation program (version 6)

Upss, I run something like this: 'pacman -Rn imagemagick6'

[2018-04-23 22:53] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -Rn imagemagick6'
[2018-04-23 22:53] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -Rn imagemagick6'

[2018-04-23 23:14] [ALPM] upgraded perl (5.26.1-2 -> 5.26.2-1)
[2018-04-23 23:14] [ALPM] upgraded libinput (1.10.4-1 -> 1.10.5-1)

but don't see if this actualy worked.

I also have graphicsmagick:

pacsearch -n graphicsmagick
extra/graphicsmagick 1.3.28-2 [zainstalowano]
    Image processing system

but whereis for graphicsmagick returns nothing.

run a

pacman -Qo 

on the ImageMagick-6 directory. And please use [ code ] tags for pasting output.

Re: [SOLVED] Uninstall imagemagick6 package when pacman don't see it

 pacman -R libmagick6 

Really should work. If Pacman some how sees files owned by libmagick6 but also can't find the libmagick6 package something must be seriously wrong.

Please provide the exact copy of errors you get when trying to uninstall libmagick6.

As for the password (this should be a separate topic, BTW): just reset the password using the Forgotten your password link on the login page.

Re: [SOLVED] Uninstall imagemagick6 package when pacman don't see it

V1del said that some libs of ImageMagick6 are still needed for ImageMagick7, so I for now will leave libmagick6 on system and see what will happen on system updates. Maybe it will be removed when it will be not needed.

Absolutely not? Re-read that.

libmagick6 still exists as a package, because there are things in the repos which are compiled with libmagick6 instead of libmagick 7. They can be installed together on your system without clashes.

Do you have any packages which depend on libmagick6? If imagemagick 7 was one of those packages it would be trivial to check the dependencies with pacman and see... but you'll see that it isn't!
