Pacman -Syyu installed openvnc

Yesterday, pacman -Syyu installed openvnc.

I can`t find this package in the software manager under installed.

How can I remove it ?

Hi @Keruskerfuerst,

There is no such package to be installed:

$ pamac search openvnc

There’s also no search results for it in the Arch wiki:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?search=openvnc

However there is an openvpn package:

Therefore, I suspect you have it wrong. If not, please provide the output of:

which openvnc

Looking in /var/log/pacman.log might help you to check what you actually did yesterday.

What @Phemisters said
grep -i "2024-09-02" /var/log/pacman.log | grep -i 'installed' /var/log/pacman.log

@Mirdarthos did you mean to say

grep -i "2024-09-02" /var/log/pacman.log | grep -i 'installed'

since giving the file name in both grep commands kind of spoils the pipeline

Or you could install pacutils:

pamac install pacutils

And run:

paclog --after $(date -d "yesterday" '+%F')

I opened /var/log/pacman.log and there is no package openvnc.

I had a look at the log and there is [2024-10-02T10:49:38+0000] [ALPM] upgraded opencv (4.10.0-7 -> 4.10.0-7.0).

Here ist the log of yesterday:
