Rebuild database, ran out of space on /var
Hi all,
while Syu-ing today I ran out of space on the /var directory. Now some updates are not complete, the applications won't launch, but pacman says everything is up to date. How do I rebuild the package database so I can complete the update?

You might decide backing up /etc and /home and then reinstalling is easiest.

Hello tkdfighter!
I don't know how many cache do you have, but in some cases pacman -Scc can help temporarily in space problems.
