check missing files

After a power outage my system is behaving weird. Files from some newly loaded packages are missing from the system even though they are in pacman database. For example;

[yasar@yasar-laptop ~]$ pacman -Ql doukutsu | grep bin
doukutsu /opt/doukutsu/doukutsu.bin
doukutsu /usr/bin/
doukutsu /usr/bin/doukutsu
[yasar@yasar-laptop ~]$ which doukutsu
which: no doukutsu in (/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl)

What is the easiest way to find out which files are missing and to reinstall those packages?

Yo Dawg, I heard you likes patches, so I have created a patch for your patch, so you can patch your patches before you patch.

Re: check missing files

look at the pacman man page for the -Q --check option
