Title: paccache has disappeared after upgrade
Post by: unix4ever on 21 June 2018, 21:37:00
Hello,

I have been using Artix since last summer. I have migrated to it from manjaro-openrc.

After one of the latest upgrades I cannot find the command paccache any more, nor can I find any package that
provides it. Has it been removed? Is there a replacement tool for it?

Thank you in advance

It was part of the 'pacman' package, it was moved together with other useful utilities to 'pacman-contrib' package.

Solution:
Code: [Select]
pacman -S pacman-contrib

Thanks for the hint, however I cannot install pacman-contrib:

Code: [Select]
$ sudo pacman -S pacman-contrib
error: target not found: pacman-contrib

So something must be broken with my system. I have the current mirrors as indicated on the homepage.
pkgfile cannot find paccache either.

It looks like you have something wrong with your system.
Package 'pacman-contrib' is in Artix galaxy repository.

EDIT:  Some updates, thanks internet.

It is in galaxy as an artix package and in community as an arch package, so your database is screwed.  Do an -Syy and see what repositories it hits.

The command
Code: [Select]
pacman -Syy
hit both galaxy and community.
But now pacman-contrib is there. I do not understand what has changed.

I was using
Code: [Select]
pacman -Syyu
and then
Code: [Select]
pacman -S pacman-contrib
I thought -Syyu would update the package databases.

From what i saw in git logs, the package was added to galaxy only few days ago.

Put another mirror on top. If that solves it, tell us which mirror was that didn't sync so we can contact its admin.
