[SOLVED] some installed packages are not found

Hi everybody!

Installed Arch on a different (from the one I use) partition with the intention to install and use primarily console based programs. Encountered I strange issue. Some programs are reported installed but when trying to run them get a message that they are not found.

[root@G0 vb]# pacman -S aria2 pacmanlogviewer
warning: aria2-1.34.0-2 is up to date -- reinstalling
warning: pacmanlogviewer-1.3.1-6 is up to date -- reinstalling

Packages (2) aria2-1.34.0-2  pacmanlogviewer-1.3.1-6

Total Installed Size:  5.80 MiB

[root@G0 vb]# aria2 -h
bash: aria2: command not found
[root@G0 vb]# pacmanlogviewer -h
bash: pacmanlogviewer: command not found
[root@G0 vb]# 

Any help is appreciated!
Thank you!

Edit: Added the word 'some' to the title cause others, like e3, nano, moc, ranger, mutt, newsboat, are working fine.

Try using the correct names for the programs...
