Hi
I was updating an archroot, created with mkarchroot to play with lxc. I thought
following
would work but it was doing something else altogether
------------------------
[root@bheem lxc]# pacman -Su -c /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ --root=$PWD/server1
Cache directory: /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
Packages to keep:
All locally installed packages
Do you want to remove all other packages from cache? [Y/n] ^C
Interrupt signal received
------------------------
I think I lost a few packages during this because following command lead to a
30MB worth of
download.
------------------------
[root@bheem lxc]# pacman -Su --cachedir=/var/cache/pacman/pkg/
--root=$PWD/server1
------------------------
What did pacman do the first time? The man page does not have bare -c option
and it wasn't
-Sc where it started cleaning the packages(or was it?)
And just to be sure.. I wanted to run pacman on the host again.. and eh? I lost
my synced
dbs? Thats strange..
------------------------
[root@bheem lxc]# pacman -Syu
