[SOLVED] how to query which packages installed on /opt

Does anyone know if there's a quick way to find a list of installed packages that touch /opt? My local machine was mounting /opt by autofs, and I didn't realize that a lot of packages actually install to /opt (such as kde). So after installing kde, I realized that I can't really run it unless I free up /opt. But after that, I still need to find out which package(s) need to be installed again. Any help is appreciated.

This will list all currently installed packages that are in /opt

pacman -Ql | grep " /opt" | cut -f1 -d' ' | uniq

Is that what you wanted?
