The wiki says to run this command, then uncomment the repo in pacman.conf:
sudo pacman -R $(paclist multilib | cut -f1 -d' ')
The command is returning this error:
bash: paclist: command not found
error: no targets specified (use -h for help)
My guess is that the new Pacman has changed how the paclist command works and the Wiki should be updated. What is the current proper way to remove the multilib repo and revert to a pure 64bit system with the new Pacman?

# pacman -Fys paclist
Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

# pacman -Fys paclist
Are you saying to run the command instead of the command listed in the Wiki? Then uncomment, and update the system? Is this correct?

He's saying to figure out where paclist is and install it.

Have a look at the man page for pacman to see what -Fys does.

I'm getting this after running the command:
community/pacman-contrib 1.0.0-2
usr/bin/paclist
So paclist appears to be installed.

What is the output of
pacman -Q pacman-contrib

No, it isn't. Figure out what that command does before coming back.

Ahh, got it. I didn't realize the command was listing a package not installed. I installed pacman-contrib and followed the wiki guide. All is well now. Thanks.

man pacman tells us this...
[ -F, --files
Query the files database. This operation allows you to look for
packages owning certain files or display files owned by certain
packages. Only packages that are part of your sync databases are
searched. See File Options below. ]
[-y, --refresh
Download a fresh copy of the master package database from the
server(s) defined in pacman.conf(5). This should typically be used
each time you use --sysupgrade or -u. Passing two --refresh or -y
flags will force a refresh of all package databases, even if they
appear to be up-to-date. ]
[ -s, --search <regexp>
This will search each package in the sync databases for names or
descriptions that match regexp. When you include multiple search
terms, only packages with descriptions matching ALL of those terms
will be returned. ]

I didn't know you could search for command associations with given packages not installed. Pretty cool. Never had a need for the -F command in pacman. Thanks again.
