Kdemod removed from pacman.conf but not from /var/lib/pacman

Hello all
I have been using kdemod repository for some time.
Since I use Gnome I have removed all my kde/qt applications and I have removed kdemod repository from pacman.conf
Is it normal to still have kdemod into /var/lib/pacman ?
Can I safely remove /var/lib/pacman/kdemod (not /var/lib/pacman of course) ?
Why pacman does not remove it when syncing if no more present in pacman.conf ?
Is it a bug ? a feature ?
Thank you for your help !
Cheers,
Chicha.

It's probably neither a bug, nor a feature, rather the lack of a feature, because checking that
some folders in /var/lib/pacman/ doesn't match a section in pacman.conf would require extra code.
Ooops I thought I checked for this hehe.
Are you sure pacman downloads the whole database everytime?
I just did an update:
yaourt -Sy
:: Synchronizing package databases...
testing is up to date
current is up to date
extra 270.5K 299.4K/s 00:00:01 [##################################################] 100%
community 291.4K 302.8K/s 00:00:01 [################################################] 100%
compiz-fusion is up to date
local database is up to date
If a repo is uptodate it doesn't download the database, so pacman must check that somehow.
Also, it show that to sync extra, 270.5K was transferred, is that the entire extra repo?
When I check the size of /var/lib/pacman/extra it's 5.7 Megs. Maybe the repo is compressed,
transferred, and then decompressed on each sync.
If that's the case, as you say my argument doesn't hold much water

  • Create Package from /var/lib/pacman/local[SOLVED]

    I am trying to get an old version of google earth bcz the 5.2 in aur doesn't start for me.  I have it installed on another system but there is not package in /var/cache/pacman/pkg.  Is it possible for me to create a package based on the info written by pacman in /var/lib/pacman/loca/google-earth-x.xx.?

    You need a PKGBUILD.
    Edit:
    Who would have thought that AUR packages write to /var/lib/pacman/local ? ;P
    I stand corrected: you don't necessarily need a PKGBUILD, you can use bacman.
    you can download the previous Google Earth binary from this link

  • Removing albums from iPhone but not iTunes

    I have the 16gb iPhone and would need to free up space on the device. I need to delete albums from the iPhone but not the iTunes library.
    Any suggestions?

    You have been manually managing music and videos from the start, or your switched to this from syncing?
    When switching from syncing to manually manage, all iTunes content on your iPhone should be erased first.
    Since you are manually managing music and videos selected, you manually drag music and videos from your iTunes library to your iPhone in the iTunes source list to add music and videos to your iPhone. To remove music and videos from your iPhone, you need to delete the music and videos from your iPhone.
    Open your iPhone under devices in the iTunes source list - select the right facing arrow pointing it down, which will reveal Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc. Select Music to reveal all music that is available on your iPhone. Select the music that you want to remove from your iPhone followed by delete.
    In regards to syncing - when syncing selected playlists, you remove songs from the playlist or playlists in iTunes that is selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences to be transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync to remove the songs from your iPhone. If you want to keep the music in your iTunes playlists in iTunes but remove select songs from your iPhone only, select sync only checked songs and videos under the Summary tab for your iPhone sync preferences. Uncheck the songs that you want removed from your iPhone in the playlists in iTunes followed by a sync. To remove an entire playlist from your iPhone, deselect the playlist under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync.

  • I want to remove the header and footer when printing from my mac, i can do this in the Page Setup on my PC but not on the Mac. I can do it each time I print but then it resets. How do I make a universal change?

    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Go to the "File" menu, then "Print." The window that appears will have three drop-down menus at the top.
    The first is labeled "Printer",
    The second is "Presets".
    The third is unlabeled but has "Copies & Pages" selected by default.
    Click on that third menu and select "Firefox" near the bottom of the list.

  • How InDesign comes to know about any changes on document, but not saved. As it shows * on the name of document when it is opened and any changes. And after saving * symbol is get removed from the name of document. How and where indesign@ handles this?

    Are you just asking because you want to know, or do you have a problem you need to solve? I don't know how to write a program, but I think what your are describing is not an unusual thing for a  program to do. The * tells you that changes have been made since the last save, and the program reserves a portion of memory for undo functions. I suppose a coder could tell you how it works, but I don't think it would help an average user to know, but that's just my opinion.

  • Mp_statusreceiver directory over 50GB - MP has been removed from this server, but not completely?

    I had a server run out of disk space today.  Digging in, the ccm mp_statusreceiver directory had 650,000 files in it, over 50GB in size.  From what I understand, I think that folder is queuing up messages to go from a management point to the primary
    server, but the server in question had it's management point removed a couple of weeks ago.  It seems like it's still gathering data to send, but not sending it to the primary server, and filling up the drive.
    If that's the case, then it seems the management point didn't actually get removed from the server, even though it's no longer listed in the config manager console as a management point.  (The server still has a DP on it.)
    How can I clean up whatever remnants of the MP are installed on this server?

    Hi,
    Yes, you need a path for mp.msi. I saw that is located at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\bin\X64.

    I am very happy to report that my server connection tech, which I called via landline, informed me to : 1. Open Tools 2. Scan down to Clear Recent History 3. Delete All. That was it! Unbelievable! Six hours of searching through the Windows catagories. I checked the results on an internet site, and viola! It was gone! Mozilla Firefox seems to remember the usernames and passwords irregardless of the option window that asks if you if want it to remember the user and password. I finally got in touch with my friend and he said he did not answer yes to the window, even though he was aware of it. No damage. I surely do appreciate everyones' concern in this, now what seems to be, a very simple solution. Cudos to Firefox! Thank-you! P.S. I now have to enter my information at the beginning of any password protected sites...no harm done! My friend is now condemned to the 'user account' site! lol...

  • HT4847 I am trying to uncheck the data and documents option for storing this information in iCloud, however, the only option I am given is to cancel the request or to remove them from my Mac (but not iCloud apparently). This is wrong! Any ideas?

    It seems that--now that I have purchased storage from iCloud--I will be forced to store my documents, data, etc there and do not have the option of choosing not to store information.  I tried to uncheck my documents and data option and the only choice I was given was to cancel the request or to have all the documents removed from my Mac! I cannot sign out and sign back in either.  I restarted my computer but that hasn't helped either.  Does anyone know what to do about this?  It's crazy that Apple would hold my data hostage and offer me the option of using this service or not having access to my own information EXCEPT in iCloud.  I wish I'd researched it more before I tried it.  Buyer beware.

    Help
    Thanks
    Dan

    The apps I currently have are for the i phone and i pad but i would like to see this on this computer
    On the Mac Air launch iTunes. Then connect either the iPad or iPhone.
    Select the iPad or iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window in the source list.
    Then select Apps from the menu on the right.
    If you don't see the apps listed there, from your iTunes menu bar (top of your screen), click Store > Authorize This Computer.
    See if that makes a difference...

  • HT4865 I don't have enough storage space on my iPhone 4S to download the new OS7 so how do I save it to iCloud and remove it from my iPhone to make room but not loose the deleted stuff from iCloud?

    I don't have enough storage space on my iPhone 4S to download the new OS7 so how do I save it to iCloud and remove it from my iPhone to make room but not loose the deleted stuff from iCloud?

    You can't use iCloud like that.  It isn't a general file storage service; it's designed to sync data across your devices. 
    Some options are to sync all your music or other media off your device, then sync it back on after you update.  Another is to import your photos to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then sync them back to your phone after you update by putting them in a folder, then selecting the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.
