Re: pacman and reinstalling problem

Does pacman still think they are installed if you do a "pacman -Qi <dep>"?

Re: pacman and reinstalling problem

I found the solution just add --needed at the end like:
pacman -Sy nano --needed

It will prevent pacman from reinstalling the already installed deps.
