Since this morning, pacman doesn't work as supposed to anymore.
When I try to install a package, bottom in the example below, everything installs fine without errors, but when you try to run the program, nothing seems to be installed.
charel@archtop ~ % sudo pacman -S bottom
[sudo] password for charel:

I don't see a "bottom" executable in the file list for that package. There is "/usr/bin/btm" but no "bottom".

You don't "run" packages, you run executable binaries in your PATH. There is no "bottom" binary provided by the bottom package.
EDIT: too slow.

Pacman is working fine. The package bottom doesn't contain a command called bottom.
pacman -Ql bottom | grep /usr/bin
