[Solved] Forcing pacman to reinstall all packages.

To avoid making myself look any stupider than necessary, I'll try and keep this short.
I ran out of space on my root partition in the middle of a pacman -Syu. This resulted in a lot of non-functioning packages. I have already successfully increased the size of the partition to about four times its old size using the Gparted LiveCD, and miraculously enough, Archlinux still boots, I still have wifi (and thus Internet access), and pacman still works. If pacman upgrades a package, it appears to start functioning again, which is nice. Now the problem.
Essentially, I would like to perform an upgrade on all packages on my system, including the ones that are up to date. This should fix them. Unfortunately, pacman -Syu (or -Syuf) only upgrades packages that appear out of date. I'm aware that I can accomplish this on a package by package basis simply using pacman -S, but I don't know of a way to obtain a list of all installed packages. How might I upgrade all the up to date ones as well?
Also, if anyone asks why my root partition was so small, the answer is some variation on the phrase "I'm an idiot".

So to answer your question, 'pacman -Q' lists installed packages. By the sounds of it, you might want to browse through the pacman manpage (it's good stuff, really!), there are a lot of nifty options you probably don't know about yet.
Also I'm guessing the excuse you're looking for is something like... "i didn't get my tacos that day"
Please feel free to shoot me down in flames if I am wrong won't this mark everything as explicitly installed?  Not usre if that would be a problem or not.

  • [SOLVED] some problems after reinstalling all packages

    Hi all,
    I had to reinstall everthing on the computer via
    pacman -S $(pacman -Qnq)
    then I move a few files back to their original place such as
    /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd
    now i'm having various problems
    1) I can't run
    systemctl
    as a normal user anymore; I have to sudo into it.  I get this error message:
    Failed to get D-Bus connection: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
    2) libreoffice wont run from my regular user account.  I get this error message:
    The application cannot be started. User installation could not be completed
    I tried uninstalling then reinstalling libreoffice.  Didn't fix it.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

  • How to reinstall all packages in the system?

    I accidentaly remove whole /usr directory, so all installed apps are gone. I then installed the basic system from the install CD, all user and system configuration leave untouched. pacman even remember what packages were installed, when i try install some of the previously installed packages pacman says: this package is up to date, upgrade anyway Y/n? So all I must do to get my system up and running again is reinstall all previsously installed packages. Is there any way how to do this by a single command? Or some script? I don't want to reinstall all the packages one by one ...

    pacman would error out if he's using any non-repo pkgs (like stuff from unsuported AUR)

    pacman -S --noconfirm `cat installed.tmp`
    rm installed.tmp
    i think that'll do the trick... just make sure you backup your /etc before hand, it might overwrite stuff.

  • Reinstalling All Packages

    Hey all,
    Let's say I messed up permissions and things for all my files and libraries. What's the best way to purge and reinstall every installed package so as to get more or less of a clean install? I basically want to reinstall without reinstalling. I can't uninstall packages manually and then reinstall them since that would eventually leave the system in an unusable state ex: when the glibc package gets uninstalled.

  • [SOLVED] Can Pacman Manage My Custom Packages

    I am going to make a custom build of MPlayer because I want it patched to take advantage of the Compiz Video plugin.  I think I might enable a couple other options that are disabled as well.  The thing I'm not sure of is how pacman will react to my package.  I know I can install it with pacman, but when a new official MPlayer package is released in the repos, will it update it and override my custom package?  If so, I thought it might help if I changed the package name, but then I thought that might mess up dependency tracking.  For instance, if I make a custom package of which other packages rely on, will those other packages be able to see mine and list the dependency as fulfilled?
    Basically I want a way for my system to see my custom package as something that can fulfill dependencies for other official packages that might rely on that particular program.  But at the same time I don't want it overridden when a new official package comes out since it likely won't contain the options I want enabled.  If it would give a message indicating a new version is available but not install it, that would really help.  Is this possible, and what would be the best way to handle this?

    So,I though of reinstalling whole Gnome-2.22
    I got below script somewhere in this forum or wiki maybe:but the script is erring out :?

    Run the command pacman -Qq and pacman -Qmq separately and try to find out why it breaks.
    pacman -Q displays all packages, pacman -Qm displays the packages that are not in any repos, that is the packages you installed manually == foreign packages. You can't reinstall these foreign packages with pacman -S by definition.
    So you have to filter them out of pacman -Q output.
    pacman -S $(pacman -Qq) fails here, because I have 3 foreign packages, but  pacman -S $(pacman -Qq | grep -v "$(pacman -Qmq)") works.

  • How to force reinstall of all packages

    Hi:
    How can I force reinstall of all packages of my system without have physical access to the server?
    Can i do this with YUM?
    Please help,
    Regards
    Ricardo

    Rather than reinstalling everything how about verifying installed packages to see what changed, which would allow you to isolate a problem - I think.
    I have never done it but apparently there is yum-verify. Unfortunately I do not have OEL available right now to test it...
    http://linux.die.net/man/1/yum-verify
    To verify the binaries that are in a bin directory, use:
    yum verify --verify-filenames='*bin/*'
    To verify all include files, Eg. for multilib problems, use:
    yum verify-all --verify-filenames='/usr/include/*'
    Does this work?

    Why would you do that? Why would you not use pacman to upgrade/install pacman, or any other package for that matter?
    Honestly, this was such a bad idea that I'm finding it difficult to keep myself from berating you with inappropriate language (some of which I instinctively blurted out when I read your post).

    pacman-db-upgrade is a transition tool to convert pacman 3.x databases to pacman 4.x databases. Is there some guide that told you to use that to update the database?
    I pride myself on trying to be helpful on the forum, but you do not seem to have any idea of how package management works on Arch Linux. This is all covered in the wiki and on the forum. I really do not mean to be rude, but I believe that you would be better off with something else as you seem to just be naively trying random shit.
    If you really want to clean up the mess that you've made, uninstall the manually installed pacman, remove whatever AUR apps you have installed that prevent you from upgrading via pacman, then rebuild and re-install those apps after the upgrade.
    I also suspect that you are using Archbang or some other distro given that you seem to be new to the distro yet already have yaourt installed. If this is the case then you should direct yourself to their forum. This forum is for Arch Linux.

  • Pacman reinstall every package

    Hi
    I am getting a new system (intel atom) and I want to use my current arch install. However I have compiled probably about 75% of all the package on my system with some specific make flags for my processor.
    So how can I go about reinstalling every package on my system with the one that arch provides?

    I had to do this once and found this post http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=47608
    I think i used the last command pacman -S $(pacman -Qq | grep -v "$(pacman -Qmq)")
    edit, wasn't that topic it was an older one i remember using a command that allan posted that worked, not sure if its the same as that one.

  • [SOLVED] Pacman wont upgrade any packages

    EDIT: I was able to solve my problem by pacman -R yaourt package-query pacman-color, I was then able to update pacman. Since I like yaourt and wanted to keep it I follow the instructions on their page (http://archlinux.fr/yaourt-en#get_it). I added their repo to my /etc/pacman.conf and then installed yaourt from pacman and now everything works again like it should.

    == Installing missing dependencies...
    error: 'gir-repository=0.6.6': could not find or read package
    == ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies.
    I assume this should be git-repository=0.6.6 Also I can find this package on Pacman or AUR

    This is obsolete dependency connected with gobject-introspection support. I think it can be removed without any problems. :)

    these lines are needed before ./autogen.sh
    sed -i -e s|#![ ]*/usr/bin/python$|#!/usr/bin/python2| \
    -e s|#![ ]*/usr/bin/env python$|#!/usr/bin/env python2| \
    $(find . -name '*.py')
    Comment by: bash on Tue, 29 Mar 2011 01:14:30 +0000
    also ./autogen.sh must be replaced with:
    PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2 ./autogen.sh

  • My drive recently had to be replaced with a new one installed by Apple they reinstalled all my stuff from my time machine. Most my programs had to be updated which I managed with a little help from my friends, but the last one that I can't solve is

    My IMAC OSX 10.6.8   2.8 GHz intelcore  2Duo 4GB 800 Mhz DDR2 SDRam recently had to have its hard drive replaced by apple thy actually had to give me a larger one because mine was no longer available,They also reinstalled all my programs and data from my 2 terrabite time machine back up. I got my system home and found that I had to upgrade most of my programs which I managed with a little help from my friends, but I still have one problem that I can't solve I have a Nikon Coolpix S6 that I have Been Syncing with my Iphoto since I've got it 3 years ago and now when I place it in the cradle the program reconizes it and says that it is going to start to import the new photos the little white wheel in the center of the screen starts spinning but nothing else happens. I checked all my connections and they are goog plus I even downloaded a nikon progam just to double check the camera & cradle and it works there but it wont pair off with my IPhoto.

    First go to iPhoto Preferences, look in both General and Advanced tabs to make sure that things are set to import from camera into iPhoto.
    Then if that doesn't help, connect the camera and open Image Capture in your Applications > Utilities folder and see if you can use Image Capture to reset the import path from the camera to iPhoto.

  • How to force Adobe Application Manager to reinstall all the cluod products

    Hi
    Due to a serious failure on my Windows 8 computer I had to restart the configuration from a Safe Point; unfortunately that configuration was not including Adobe products, so the restart has PARTIALLY erased main part of my applications, but NOT COMPLETELY. In this moment i have some directories on the disk, but can't uninstall anymore products like Photoshop, Aftereffects, Encore and all the rest from the Windows Uninstall tool. And, Adobe Application Manger STILL BELIEVES THEY ARE ON MY HD, so all I can do is to update tools. If I update nothing happen but the waste of time to wait for download. I would like or to uninstall AAM and all the rest or to force reinstallation, but how can I do?
    Hope not to have to wipe all the HD and reinstall all the operating system and other applications from scratch. Thank you for any support.

    You should be able to fix the problem using the Adobe Cleaner Tool available here http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html.

  • [SOLVED] Make Pacman cache packages installed with -U

    When installing a package with -U, pacman doesn't cache packages as it does when installing with -S. Is there a way to change this behavior?
    I read somewhere that specifying the package's full path and prepending "file://", as in "pacman -U file://path/to/package.pkg.tar.xz", but this often complains of an "invalid or corrupted package (PGP signature)".
    How can I make pacman always copy installed packages to the cache?
    MOD EDIT: change 'closed' to 'solved' in title to avoid confusion

    You can't.  This has been discussed on the bugtracker several times.

    If you're building the packages yourself with makepkg, you can set PKGDEST to your cache in makepkg.conf.  Otherwise you could write a small pacman wrapper that copies the package after installing it.
