All, Devs,
From earlier discussions, I thought the empty stray directory problem
in /var/cache/pacman/pkg had been identified and solved. But I was hit
again today with directories created this year, e.g. sudo pacman -Sc
error: could not open file /var/cache/pacman/pkg/download-peUZUV: Error
reading fd 7
error: could not open file /var/cache/pacman/pkg/download-uq8lgk: Error
reading fd 7
Where, e.g.:
$ sudo ls -al /var/cache/pacman/pkg/download-peUZUV
total 352
drwx------ 2 alpm alpm 4096 Jan 1 03:42 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 352256 Jan 8 21:56 ..
I went ahead and just removed both directories. If there are any logs
you are interested in, let me know, but I know the commit that led to
this has already been identified. I'm just not sure of the fix.
