Error message

Hi, since I tried to install KDE with a "pacman -S kde" I always get following error message when I use pacman:

error: /var/lib/pacman/local/qt-3.3.1-1/desc: No such file or directory

Installed programs still work (except KDE), but this error message is annoying. What does it mean?

Re: Error message

Try:

pacman -Sy kde

Re: Error message

Thx, but that does not help :-(
Maybe I could make a screenshot with the hole error messege(s), but I don't know a screenshot program.

Re: Error message

I would guess that the installation of qt is corrupted.  Does pacman -Q show qt as installed?  If so, try removing it and reinstalling.  If qt is not installed, maybe try installing it on its own before installing kde (though this should not normally be necessary).

Re: Error message

No, not yet. But I have chosen the hard way and deleted the whole directory /qt-3.3.1-1 and installed qt once again, this time without any problems.
