Installing list of packages using pacman [SOLVED]

TheStatsMan · 2010-10-09 08:40:03

KDE4.5.2 continually crashes on my laptop, works fine on my desktop and is basically unuseable. I want to downgrade to 4.5.1. From what I understand from the ArchWiki I need to do this using pacman -U packagename. I can get a list of package names by going to /var/cache/pacman/pkg and typing ls *kde* | grep 4.5.1 . This however gives me a massive list. Is there an inteligent way I can run pacman -U on this whole list?

Thanks in advance for any help.
