After pacman-optimize a lot of file/name/ files exists in filesystem

Hi all, I recently did a pacman-optimize it failed, so 2 days after I try to install liferea and it says the it needs some packages already installed in my system so after that I did a pacman -Syu and a lots of file/name/ file exists in filesystem, I have tried to install another packages and is the same so I have been looking on the internet for thing such as rebuild pacman db, because I think there is a problem with the database, I looked at my /var/lib/pacman/local/ and I have less packages than I have installed, so that is why I think that is has a relation with the database, is there a way to know the list of packages in the ddbb? and does anybody has the same problem?...

Thanks in advance and best regards ...

Updated!

Actually I did this : http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57120 (post #2) of Ponto (thanks ponto)

And I have these results :

~]$ sudo pacman -Qqe > pkglist
~]$ cat pkglist
autoconf
automake
liferea

pacman think that my system has only 3 packages installed fortunately my systemd works so well in spite of!...

I really thanks you help and comments

Hello taken2k4!

Did you read this ?
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/How … l_Database

And of course the general backup ceremony works here too

djszapi Thanks you very very much, I did that and my system seems to be working properly I have to test it a few days but by now everything is working.

What app do you use to do your backups of pacman?...

Thanks again!

Hello taken2k4 again! Nice to hear that, no problem, feel free to ask us, instead of spending so much days with a small problem, really!

I've used bacula earlier in gentoo, but there lot of backup programs, really.

But here is one, documented:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Backup_with_hdup

Hope this helps.
