Ok, i understand what happened. In reality the argument was too long for the rm command, so basically you have to start prunning
packages "slowly" (-k with a high value) until you reach the desired value smile.

Re: [Solved] paccache error

I wonder if it can be considered a bug in paccache. Care to open a bug report / ask on the IRC / ML?
