Pacman won't upgrade

When I ran pacman it said that there wasn't enough disk space so I ran pacman -Scc (that freed about half my total space). Then I tried pacman -Syu again but that told me that everything is up to date. This isn't true of course because there wasn't enough disk space to update. What can I do? pacman -Q still lists all packages. It seems that it lists the new versions of the packages. Is it possible that it lists inkscape 0.46-6, but that in reality I have an older (not updated because of disk space) version? Will this be problematic or will the packages be updated to the newest version without problems when a new version comes out?

Thank you!

Re: Pacman won't upgrade

Hi!

If you have some idea of which packages that might be affected by this (possibly) failed update I guess you should be able to just pacman -S <list of packages> and it explictly reinstalls them..
A longer way (still asuming you know which packages that it was about to update) is to run them and see if the version in about boxes (or using  -V for command lines apps) and compare that with what pacman's think about the version installed.

The pacman log should reveal the packages it updated (or if it failed: which packages it thought it updated).

(woho! first post trying to help someone after getting many great tips by reading the forums :-) )
