do pacman -Qs package and see if you have it installed.


Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Well it says its not in the data base or something like that. 

These are for aur packages not the regular community or extra packages.

Welcome to the forum, graycolor!

"Well it says its not in the data base or something like that.  " <- Can you post the exact output ?

Try e.g. install pacman-color then pacman -Rd  pacman-color, it should work.

do not ever use the -d flag unless you absolutely know what you are doing.

Sorry for not knowing how to place the terminal thing here.  So I just copied and pasted the terminal hope you don't mind.

I can't find my package, but I know it's installed because I was able to use wine.

Re: [SOLVED] How do I uninstall?

Try:

pacman -Rs bin32-wine

you do not need to give the entire package archive file name to install it.

Do a "pacman -Qs wine".  If that finds nothing, then you did not install any wine using pacman...

Re: [SOLVED] How do I uninstall?

Haha I figured it out, well sort of.  I had to reinstall the dependencies for wine then I uninstalled wine and its dependencies.  It must have been some sort of glitch or it might just be me. 

Thanks guys,

Ray
