pacman -R can't remove audacious

I installed audacious using pacman -S audacious several days ago , there are some problems with the package in the repo ,so i want to compile it myself. when I remove it , I got the following message :

sudo pacman -R audacious
loading package data... failed.
error: failed to add target 'audacious' (could not find or read package)

why ? when I query the database :

 sudo pacman -Qi audacious
error: package "audacious" not found

but audacious is really installed by pacman on my computer .

How can I remove it ?

As would be obvious by:

grep audacious /var/log/pacman.log

Re: pacman -R can't remove audacious

at some point, audacious was changed to audacious-player and audacious-plugins.

http://www.archlinux.org/packages/searc … s&limit=50

when in doubt, search!

or u could have done

pacman -Q | grep audacious

and seen there was two packages.
