[SOLVED]several no such file or directory warning messages
Hi all,
i am here to ask some help trying to recover my arch installation.
I messed up python packages with sudo pip and pacman. I learned the lesson and now I am trying to clean up.
I uninstalled pip packages and when needed used pacman.
now, i do not know if this the cause, but using -Qk command with pacman and then filtering, i obtain more than 3k warning messages like the following:
pacman -Qk 2>&1 | egrep "^warni*."

warning: ipython: /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/backcall/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-37.pyc (No such file or directory)
...I followed this thread , however I think this is not the case.
Those files/folders effectively do not exist.
Can you help me better understand how to make everything clean?
Thanks in advance

I reinstalled those packages (which according pacman were already there) twice.

you mean "If you must use pip, use a virtual environment, or pip install --user to avoid conflicts with packages in /usr. It is always preferred to use pacman to install software."
I got it.
Thanks
