[Solved]Pacman, "is empty, not checked"

This problem doesn't seem to be causing any actual problems with my package manager but it's annoying nonetheless.

Whenever I install anything, this is the output at the end:

ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libgupnp-dlna-gst-2.0.so.3 is empty, not checked.
ldconfig: File /usr/lib/libdleyna-core-1.0.so is empty, not checked.

:: Running post-transaction hooks...
(1/2) Updating manpage index...
(2/2) Updating the info directory file...

So it would appear the gupnp is the culprit, but when I try to uninstall it, it doesn't exist. And when I try to reinstall it, I get the same error.

So then I tried to see if any of these files were owned by another package, which gives me the output:

[brigh@BrighArch ~]$ pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libdleyna-core-1.0.so.4
error: No package owns /usr/lib/libdleyna-core-1.0.so.4

So then, I queried all of the packages I installed and wrote that out as a text file. Then I ran pacman calling that list and reinstalled every program that I had installed (dumb).
Still nothing.

Anyone have any thoughts? I spent about an hour searching this problem and none of the suggestions seem to be doing anything.

Anything else I should output?

Re: [Solved]Pacman, "is empty, not checked"

Try using "pacman -Fo"  option to figure out which packages those files come from .

When you try to re-install those packages, you'll probably get "file xyz exists in filesystem" errors.

move the offending files out of the way, then try again.

Re: [Solved]Pacman, "is empty, not checked"

Thanks for the reply!! When I run 'pacman -Fo' the output is as follows:

[brigh@BrighArch ~]$ pacman -Fo libdleyna-core-1.0.so.4
warning: database file for 'core' does not exist
warning: database file for 'extra' does not exist
warning: database file for 'community' does not exist
warning: database file for 'multilib' does not exist
warning: database file for 'archlinuxfr' does not exist
warning: database file for 'infinality-bundle' does not exist

It continues to output this, even after I run 'pacman -Syy'. I also added more mirrors to my mirrorlist (I pulled them from the Arch mirror generator page) and that didn't solve the problem either.

EDIT: Okay! I had to run 'pacman -Fy' first. That solved the database file problem. Then I was able to run 'pacman -Fo /usr/bin/libdleyna-core-1.0.so.4' (I forgot the path in the original). Then I reinstalled all necessary packaged with the '--force' option. Thanks!!

Re: [Solved]Pacman, "is empty, not checked"

You have to load/update the file databases with pacman -Fy.
