Un-ignoring a package

A week ago, i used downgrade to make some packages stay while i was troubleshooting them, and now that its working, i would like to update them again. However, I do not know how to make that happen. I dont see them in pacman.conf, how would i fix this?

You need to remove them from IgnorePkg = line in /etc/pacman.conf.

Edit:

Ah… I missed this part. That’s strange.

Can you post grep -i ignorepkg /etc/pacman.conf ?

If I remember correctly, downgrade inserts additional ignorepkg lines and does not edit the one already in the pacman.conf file. Look for multiple ignorepkg lines.

Look for multiple ignorepkg lines.

Thank you :smiley: i was only looking at the first one which was empty, but there were more lines.
