Hi Peter,
I cannot find the error message from the service again, sorry, so
I cannot tell You, it had to do with some security parameter not
set.
It might be in journalctl(1)'s output.
Sorry, cannot find that. :-/
You have no `journalctl' command, or using it doesn't help find the
error message? `journalctl -S 2018-07-20' would show all messages
starting from that date, for example.

Seems I tried some wrong search string (using grep), now I found the
following:

If your cache no longer has old packages, you can use the online
Archive.

Thank You, Ralph! I now wonder where the linux-headers are cached
It's a cache so they don't have to still exist in there, especially if
you've done something to clean it at some point. See when you had
dealings with that package with `grep linux-headers
/var/log/pacman.log'.
Nope. Only "[PACMAN] Running 'pacman -U linux-4.17.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
linux-headers-4.17.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz'".
they're not in /var/cache/pacman/pkg
Are there any other `CacheDir' configured in /etc/pacman.conf ?
No.
Are these headers used for compilation of modules only, or do they add
some more value to the running linux system, too?
Just the former, I think, but could be wrong.

I've never had it installed, but then I haven't built a kernel module on
this system, nor do I have
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dynamic_Kernel_Module_Support
So this won't hurt until I recompile some module. Don't have DKMS
support, either.
