Some pacman problems.

I tried here tonight to install OO.org 2.0, but it didn't installed at all. Now I get this message when I am trying to Install something with pacman:

[root@matrix mikkel]# pacman -S openoffice-base
error: /var/lib/pacman/local/openoffice2-1.9.93-1/desc: No such file or directory

It doens't affect anything, but i really don't like errors. So how do I fix it?

Another problem is that I can't install the "hpijs"-packages. When I'm trying I get this error:

[root@matrix mikkel]# pacman -S hpijs

Re: Some pacman problems.

try a "pacman -Scc" and then "rm -rf /var/lib/pacman/local/openoffice2-1.9.93-1"

try installing OO again...

also:

 foomatic-filters: /etc/foomatic/filter.conf: exists in filesystem
foomatic-filters: /usr/bin/foomatic-gswrapper: exists in filesystem
foomatic-filters: /usr/man/man1/foomatic-gswrapper.1.gz: exists in filesystem 

did you manually install this? there's conflciting files... try doing a "pacman -Qo <filename>" and see if they're files owned by pacman... if not, just do a "pacman -Sf foomatic-filters" to force the install
