[SOLVED] error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/local/qt-4.5.2-4/

Hi all,

So there I was, running pacman -Syu on all my Arch machines, and I get to my desktop PC at work, and half way through X decides to crash and kick me back to the CLI. Fair enough neutral

Now when I try and use pacman, I get a whole bunch of errors about a missing 'depends' directory:

root ~ # pacman -S amarok
resolving dependencies...

It still asks me to continue with installing the new package, but I'd rather get this fixed first in case it buggers it up worse hmm

A "pacman -S qt" should be enough, maybe a "pacman -Sf qt".  It looks like that file never got written during the upgrade crash...

Once again my saviour Allan -- I had to -Sf it due to file already existing, but seems to be good now smile
