# Package Cache
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Clean the cache of old packages in `/var/cachepacman/pkg/`:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
ls /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ | wc -l
|
||
|
|
sudo pacman -Sc
|
||
|
|
ls /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ | wc -l
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
And the same for `yay` (with `-Yc` to remove old dependencies):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
ls ~/.cache/yay/ | wc -l
|
||
|
|
yay -Sc
|
||
|
|
yay -Yc
|
||
|
|
ls ~/.cache/yay/ | wc -l
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# New Configs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you chance a configuration file, such as `/etc/environment`, and `pacman` wants to update the file, it will place `/etc/environment.pacnew`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Check the new files, then look at the difference between the `pacman` version, and your version.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
sudo find /etc/ /var/ /usr/ -name "*.pacnew"
|
||
|
|
diff /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist*
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Either,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Update the files manually,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
sudo -e /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
|
||
|
|
sudo rm /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Or,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- use a tool like `pacdiff` to view the changes next to each other, and select them with `vim`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
sudo pacman -S pacman-contrib
|
||
|
|
sudo pacdiff
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
