How do I force remove a package in Arch with pacman?
arch linux;package management;pacman
You should be able to reinstall the package with a simple:  # pacman -S perl-libwwwThis will only remove perl-libwww:  # pacman -Rdd perl-libwwwPlease notice the double -d in the command, if you use --nodeps you have to specify that twice too or combine it with a -d like:# pacman -R --nodeps --nodeps perl-libwww# pacman -Rd --nodeps perl-libwwwThis removes all the packages which depend on perl-libwww:  # pacman -Rc perl-libwwwFrom pacman's man page:     -d, --nodeps       Skips dependency version checks. Package names are still       checked. Normally, pacman will always check a packages       dependency fields to ensure that all dependencies are       installed and there are no package conflicts in the       system. Specify this option twice to skip all dependency       checks.   -c, --cascade       Remove all target packages, as well as all packages that       depend on one or more target packages. This operation is       recursive, and must be used with care since it can remove       many potentially needed packages.
