*Solved* Pacman problem

ron9 · 2016-07-20 08:22:25

Yesterday I did a full upgrade.
Now when I use pacman I get "cant open file /var/lib/pacman/local/qt5-xmlpatterns-5.7.0-1/desc: no such file or folder" Pacman still works.
I cant find "/desc" in that folder.
Tryed to reinstall and remove the package, but it fails with "warning: cannot load all metadata from package qt5.... error: could not prepare transaction (invalid or corrupt package)
Xserver wont start either. Dont now if it is relevant to this problem.

Please pick a topic title that describes your problem, and include the full output you get from pacman.

Moving to pacman issues.

Sounds like a full partition, what does your diskspace look like?

Don't truncate errors. We can't see what the real problem is.

Problem solved.
I have ten qt5 packages installed that are interdependent. Managed to remove one by one. Had to remove part forgotten files and installed packages again.
Presumably something has gone wrong during the installation or during the download of the package.
Sorry for truncating. Write this on my phone...
