During installation, I allowed 32 GB for Manjaro system /; actuall 1 GB ist left free. Would this be enough for next major updates?
In order to clean-up, I tried paccache and got this result:
$ paccache --dryrun --keep 3 --verbose
... listing of packages
==> finished dry run: 325 candidates (disk space saved: 1.98 GiB)
$ paccache --remove -- keep 3 --verbose
==> no candidate packages found for pruning
Why are 325 candidates reported but not one packege pruned?
Thank you, Michael
yes with keep 3 , nothing in 325 archives on disk
you can reduce --keep 
Hi @MaMicha,
This happened, I suspect, because you had an empty space between -- and keep.
It should be:
paccache --remove --keep 3 --verbose
if I’m correct.
Hope it helps!
Thanks a lot @Mirdarthos,
you’re absolutely right; sorry for my stupid mistake.
I’d appreciate, if you (or someone else) could tell me, how much space should be left on / in advance to major updates.
Major stable updates are often between 1 and 2 GB in download size.
Hi @MaMicha,
I, personally, have no idea if there is something like that.
However, when performing the update, when it’s asking for confirmation, it provides size estimates. So you can use those.
Thanks @All, solved!
Here’s an idea of what to expect with an XFCE update, plus work space. I suspect it might be more with KDE, and of course, your installed packages.
