mmm, when i was installing openoffice, first downloaded the packages, but in the installation procedure, my / partition was full, and the installation was not completed. Now this is the message when i try install a program:

[root@Celerondomain pkg]# pacman -S kde
error: /var/lib/pacman/local/-/desc: No such file or directory
:: group kde:
    arts gwenview kdeaccessibility kdeaddons kdeadmin kdeartwork kdebase 
    kdebindings kdeedu kdegames kdegraphics kdelibs kdemultimedia kdenetwork 
    kdepim kdesdk kdetoys kdeutils 
    Install whole content? [Y/n]

and not detect the last version avaible of the package , help

PD: i did pacman -Syu

Is your /var and / directories on the same partition? If that is the case you'll need to free some space. Probably pacman tries to write to /var but can't because the partition is full.

i have already freed space of my / partition... :S

You'll find an empty directory named "-" in /var/lib/pacman/local
Just delete it, happened to me serveral times.
