It shows this

[brahma]

so now run this:

sudo touch /var/lib/pacman/local/noto-fonts-20220810-1/files

reinstall again:
sudo pacman -S noto-fonts linux515

edit: removed the ‘file’ from the touch command

[Wolf_a]

Hey,

I included the /file

at last it showed : error detected , could not upgrade(or similar)

But when i used pacman it started working again

Is there anything to worry about(since i did not exclude /files)?

[brahma]

i meant i used this:

sudo touch file /var/lib/pacman/local/noto-fonts-20220810-1/files`

the ‘file’ after touch … but it looks like it worked also with it… if the update worked, and you have no errors, then thats it.
