I really jacked my box

I was in the middle of a "pacman -Suy" when my PC ran out of diskspace. It was in the process of upgrading the packages when this happened. Now, I think, pacman thinks everything went fine but most of my apps, including Bon Echo don't function properly. How can I get pacman reinstall all my current packages? I'm posting using Links(which works surprisingly well).

Just clear some space and -Syu again.

I tried that. It says that everything is up to date. I need to force it to upgrade all my installed packages.

pacman -Q lists all installed packages. Modify the list as required, then feed it to pacman -Sy.

file a bug, this shouldnt happen. Pacman should stop upgrading packages once your hdd fills. http://bugs.archlinux.org

Check out this thread for a script that could automate the installation.

kishd, thanks alot. I think this may do the trick. Exactly what I was looking for. It even upgrades the first package before downloading the next which was a concern for me.

Well, I'm posting this from Bon Echo now. I'm up to the L's as far as packages go. I'm just going to let it run through. GCC libs was the big culprit. Thanks again guys.
