[SOLVED] CTRL - C by mistake when pacman -Syu

Hello guys,

Meanwhile I was updating my Arch linux, by mistake when pacman finished to download the packages I pressed Ctrl -C (Interrupt signal received) and the update don't finished.
Now, when I try to update again pacman said there is no packages to update.

I pressed just before to start with hook process

Is there any way to relaunch again the previous update?

Here is when I pressed Ctrl - C
....
(473/476) actualizando tokodon                                                                                    [####################################################################] 100%
(474/476) actualizando umbrello                                                                                   [####################################################################] 100%
(475/476) actualizando yakuake                                                                                    [####################################################################] 100%

^C
Interrupt signal received
error: orden terminada por la señal 2: Interrupción

this is the last part of pacman.log:

Re: [SOLVED] CTRL - C by mistake when pacman -Syu

There is no simple way to re-run the last transaction.
You can extract all upgraded packages from the last transaction from the pacman log, though.
Then just do a

pacman -Syu <package1> <package2> ...

to force a re-installation of all packages and to trigger appropriate ALPM hooks.

Hello Schard,

You are rigth and also, after my question, I realise in the oficial pacman wiki there is a poin that said "3.5 Fixing an unbootable system caused by an interrupted upgrade" and it said exactly the same than you.

The issus is solved now.

Thank you very much.

Regards.
