# Problems
|
|
|
|
Look for broken packages.
|
|
|
|
> sudo xbps-pkgdb -a
|
|
|
|
And if you've found any, you might try:
|
|
|
|
> sudo xbps-reconfigure -af
|
|
|
|
This reconfigures all packages forcefully.
|
|
|
|
If that doesn't help the issue, try to find the broken package and forcefully reinstall:
|
|
|
|
> xbps-query -s gnutls
|
|
|
|
> sudo xbps-install -f gnutls
|
