pacman-optimize fails

shen · 2007-10-30 03:42:30

Just noticed this happening recently. Reiserfs on both partitions with plenty of space available..well over 60 gig of space free...looked at dmesg and nothing that would even pertain to it at the end.. I am at a loss...is there a way to rebuild the db ?

Did a forum search and found only one thread about this and it didn't have much info that would help.

Here's the terminal output..

That did the trick bud thanks for the info. I would have never thought about that package.. It really should be a dep for pacman since it is required for pacman-optimize to work right..:) Thanks again.

Is there a bug report for this? Not sure if it'll be considered as a bug or not, but it should at least be reported.

Probably best to report it as a feature request...For some reason I think it use to be apart of base but isn't now with the repo changes.. So it likely should be a dep for pacman since it is required to run pacman-optimize.

Hmm, I'm not understanding why the following wasn't triggered in pacman-optimize:

# make sure diff is installed                                  
if ! type diff >/dev/null 2>&1; then
    die "$(gettext "diff tool was not found, please install diffutils.")"
fi
