Getting error querying orphaned packages
Hi folks
I've got a little problem using pacman.
If I do a "pacman -Qe" I get this error:
error: /var/lib/pacman/local/-/files: No such file or directory
Is there a way to rebuild the pacman database or something?

Re: Getting error querying orphaned packages
do you have a directory in /var/lib/pacman/local/ as "-" ?
If so, delete it.

Re: Getting error querying orphaned packages
I followed your advice and moved the "-"-dir to a backup-dir.
The error-message has disappeared now, but it still doesn't work as I expect it should (I never used this command before)
If I enter "pacman -Qe", I get an empty line as output - shouldn't this show me all orphaned packages?
Thx for your help anyway!
