yeah i have not thought of that. but ... even with a cache last cleaned up the 7 june, i got no libpcap 0.9.5. and the cache is yet 1GB. the last time libpcap has been updated is in october the 21th ... i can't imagine the size of the cache if i haven't cleaned it up since that date 10 GB ??? for what ? i have a little 60GB hdd .... i think i am gonna run now a crontab to run pacman -Scc every month ;-) _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
