Re: Howto list files not known by pacman (-Ql) and not in /home

Like this:

sudo find /etc /bin /sbin /opt /lib /usr -type f -o -type l | sed 's#^#files #' >/tmp/files
pacman -Ql | cut -d' ' -f2- | grep -v '/$' | sed 's#^#exclude #' >/tmp/exclude
cat /tmp/files /tmp/exclude | sort -k2 | uniq -u -f1 | grep '^files' >/tmp/orphans

Re: Howto list files not known by pacman (-Ql) and not in /home

Using:

sudo find /etc /bin /sbin /opt /lib /usr -type f -o -type l | sed 's#^#files #' >/tmp/files
pacman -Ql | cut -d' ' -f2- | grep -v '/$' | sed 's#^#exclude #' >/tmp/exclude
cat /tmp/files /tmp/exclude | sort -k2 | uniq -u -f1 | grep -v '^exclude\|pacsave$' >/tmp/orphans

Where you could easily exlude some more patterns, like "grub" or "pacman" in the grep -v option.
Anyway for those interested, this is my results:

I can already see there's gjots2 files, while I removed that a while ago... same for the xemacs files(?)
Which of those files would make trouble if deleted?

Re: Howto list files not known by pacman (-Ql) and not in /home

I'm not yet content with the output of the diff command.
I do not like it, I tried using it before (also this time before I decided to use uniq) but it is difficult to understand. There are definitely lines (custom scripts in /usr/bin for example) that aren't displayed with a grep ">".
I see there are some folders, uncluding /usr/bin, displayed though. (what does that mean?)
As I understand it, diff has its own way of understanding whether a line should be added (>) or one should be deleted (<) to sync lines between the two files it compares. But then again I'm quite new to linux and bash, and stuff... so I'd like to be corrected.

I find it quite natural

When using the following command:  diff /tmp/files /tmp/exclude
The lines starting with "<" show the lines that appear only in "files" file (< is like an arrow pointing to the left)
And the ones starting with ">" show the lines that appear only in "exclude" file

you mean those 'additional' files aren't register by pacman?

No these files are not tracked (just like any other files created as package installation or at runtime, as opposed to package creation)

Can you tell me how pacman succeeds in removing those packages/files then? If pacman can find out (when removing a package) which files belonged to a package, including those 'additional' files.... shouldn't there be a way to make a list of those files... including all 'additional' files?
As you see, I don't quite understand Maybe the simple question is: Doesn't pacman -Ql foo list all files it would remove with pacman -R foo?

pacman only removes the files it was tracking (files listed by -Ql).
But scriptlets can be run both on package installation (for example post_install) and on package removal (like post_remove).
So if the scriptlet creates additional files on installation, it can also (and probably should) remove them on removal.

Btw, installing and removing files in a scriptlet is ugly, mostly for that reason (pacman can't track these files).
So if it can be avoided, it's for the best.

Re: Howto list files not known by pacman (-Ql) and not in /home

That's much better indeed. Seems like this gives a decent result now.
To find all files that should be installed as part of a package, but were not on the filesystem, I then did :
   grep ">" /tmp/orphans
This gave me a lot of files I think my local database was a bit broken (I remember now that I must have messed up something once )
After removing / installing some packages, I only have some files from ttf-ms-fonts and zsh packages, because these are modified by their scriptlets.

Ah, this is what struck me... I thought that grep would give me the uniq files (those NOT listed by pacman -Ql).
So this gave me 20 results and I thought... huh? ... next I completely misunderstood an explanation of diff I found on the internet, now I realize grep '<' was the command I needed.

Re: Howto list files not known by pacman (-Ql) and not in /home

Man this works great for me with the use of pacman -Sf I reinstalled xemacs, texmacs, gjots2 and some more packages I found to be broken... Later I could cleanly remove them with pacman -R(s).
After some more cleanup I'm down to 147 results now, mainly fonts, but still some "rubbish??"

Forget about all the tupac* clipac* stuff, those are my efforts in making a nice dialog frontend to tupac/pacman.
Any more info on the "whatis" files appreciated... what about the /usr/bin/view and /usr/bin/rview files... those are vi(m)'s?
Since I'm running kernel 2.6.24 now... can I remove those: /lib/modules/2.6.23-ARCH/modules.*?

Thanks!

Re: Howto list files not known by pacman (-Ql) and not in /home

I'd like to list all the packages installed but not like -Ql, which lists so much for each one, how could I just list all packages with each package being one line of output, just the name of the package???

Try just 'pacman -Q'

Re: Howto list files not known by pacman (-Ql) and not in /home

HERE are two one linear scripts that will do the job.

Show dirs that don't belong to any package:

alias pacman-disowned-dirs="comm -23 <(sudo find / \( -path '/dev' -o -path '/sys' -o -path '/run' -o -path '/tmp' -o -path '/mnt' -o -path '/srv' -o -path '/proc' -o -path '/boot' -o -path '/home' -o -path '/root' -o -path '/media' -o -path '/var/lib/pacman' -o -path '/var/cache/pacman' \) -prune -o -type d -print | sed 's/\([^/]\)$/\1\//' | sort -u) <(pacman -Qlq | sort -u)"

Show files that don't belong to any package:

alias pacman-disowned-files="comm -23 <(sudo find / \( -path '/dev' -o -path '/sys' -o -path '/run' -o -path '/tmp' -o -path '/mnt' -o -path '/srv' -o -path '/proc' -o -path '/boot' -o -path '/home' -o -path '/root' -o -path '/media' -o -path '/var/lib/pacman' -o -path '/var/cache/pacman' \) -prune -o -type f -print | sort -u) <(pacman -Qlq | sort -u)"

teechlive,
Thank you for the scripts; they are relevant.  Just be aware, you may not get all too much response on 5 year old thread.  Just a "heads-up"

Thanks.

Not really looking forward for responses, just want to put it here in case it could help someone who dig this thread up someday just like me doing it today.
