[Solved] How to remove a package which is not installed

I run into the kde related issue and solved it partly. The problem here is that i can't remove libvkontakte because it is not installed , but pacman thinks it is installed:

$:> LC_ALL=C pacman -Qdt
libkvkontakte 5.0.0-3

$:> LC_ALL=C sudo pacman -Rs libvkontakte
error: target not found: libvkontakte

I have searched the pacman.log for this:

$:> LC_ALL=C grep libvkontakte /var/log/pacman.log 
[2013-06-04 20:43] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -R libvkontakte'
[2023-10-28T17:40:26+0200] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -Rs libvkontakte'

Looks i have removed libvkontakte already in the year 2013. I guess for some reason it remains in the pacman package database, don't know why.

What to do?
