That's exactly what I meant by not being too
aggressive with cleaning the cache. I guess the
recommendation is generally *not* to run pacman -Scc
unless you really need the space. Instead, when you
are confident you have a working/stable system after a
system upgrade, run just pacman -Sc to clear out old
packages, saving packages that are currently installed
for emergencies like this *next time* you upgrade. Do
you really have 10GB of packages currently installed?
