paccache has disappeared after upgrade

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.
