This idea is better and now i have to wait for an update which will use deleted files. Only for the stast it is not unusually that apps use deleted files: # lsof -n | grep ' DEL ' firefox 1832 arpad DEL REG 0,4 1998849 /SYSV00000000 kwin 3815 arpad DEL REG 0,4 0 /SYSV00000000 The way of an rpm based system with using RPMDELETE as the flag seems easier to find out such files. Is there a analog way possible for pacman? I never take a look after an update with pacman. See you, Attila
