Re: How I can reinstall ALL packages which gets a error with pacman -Qk?

The direct answer is as follows:

pacman -Qk 2>/dev/null | awk -F: '!/ 0 missing/ { print $1; }' | pacman -S -

However, there's not much point in doing all the checking.  You'd only be asking this if there were a lot of packages anyways, so just reinstall them all:

pacman -Qq | pacman -S -

But you'll want to figure out why there's a problem in the first place or you're likely to end up right back in the same situation soon enough.
