[solved] Checking package installation ?

Hi there !

My computer shut down suddenly during a pacman -Syu, while updating some packages.

Is there a way to check that there is no broken package ?

Thanks.

Have a look at your /var/log/pacman.log to see what packages were downloaded on your last pacman -Syu and just reinstall them to make sure they aren't broken.

Oh and welcome to the forums!

Yep. If the fsck on the next boot seemed to work alright, then just reinstall the last packages. But instead of using pacman.log I'd suggest you use 'ls -ltr /var/cache/pacman/pkg' to find them.
