Hi all, I recently did a pacman-optimize it failed, so 2 days after I try to install liferea and it says the it needs some packages already installed in my system so after that I did a pacman -Syu and a lots of file/name/ file exists in filesystem, I have tried to install another packages and is the same so I have been looking on the internet for thing such as rebuild pacman db, because I think there is a problem with the database, I looked at my /var/lib/pacman/local/ and I have less packages than I have installed, so that is why I think that is has a relation with the database, is there a way to know the list of packages in the ddbb? and does anybody has the same problem?...
Thanks in advance and best regards ...
Updated!
Actually I did this : http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57120 (post #2) of Ponto (thanks ponto)
And I have these results :
~]$ sudo pacman -Qqe > pkglist
~]$ cat pkglist
autoconf
automake
liferea
pacman think that my system has only 3 packages installed fortunately my systemd works so well in spite of!...
I really thanks you help and comments

djszapi Thanks you very very much, I did that and my system seems to be working properly I have to test it a few days but by now everything is working.
What app do you use to do your backups of pacman?...
Thanks again!
