If you did not change the default global user installation path for pip, then there are no user-installed python packages on your system, so there is nothing to remove.

so i installed some package by pip

olive nymph Jul 21, 2023, 5:32 AM

#

glacial aurora i did sudo pip

Very bad practice, never run pip, npm etc as root.

glacial aurora Jul 21, 2023, 5:32 AM

#

:( my bad

#

where would the files be

olive nymph Jul 21, 2023, 5:35 AM

#

glacial aurora where would the files be

Find stray files first.
Then find what you installed by piping from shell history
Finally, run a pacman checksum and reinstall these modified python packages from repo.

sorry i don't know the checksum you are talking about

olive nymph Jul 21, 2023, 5:40 AM

#

glacial aurora sorry i don't know the checksum you are talking about

pacman -Qkk

glacial aurora Jul 21, 2023, 5:40 AM

sudo?

olive nymph Jul 21, 2023, 5:40 AM

#

However, you may find paccheck from pacutils more convenient.

olive nymph Jul 21, 2023, 5:41 AM

#

glacial aurora sudo?

This command lists all packages with a mismatching checksum.

sudo paccheck --sha256sum --list-broken

ohh i see what you are doing, so to check if the package is installed from pacman because other applications like pip would have a different checksum?

olive nymph Jul 21, 2023, 5:42 AM

#

The lostfiles package from repo can be used to find lost files. It should also be run as root.

olive nymph Jul 21, 2023, 5:43 AM

glacial aurora ohh i see what you are doing, so to check if the package is installed from pacma...

Yes, then you can overwrite them with pacman.

glacial aurora Jul 21, 2023, 5:43 AM

#

nice

#

how long do i have to wait

olive nymph Jul 21, 2023, 5:44 AM

#

If the package you installed with pip has changed the system python package, paccheck can find this out, and these newly added files can be picked up by lostfiles.

olive nymph Jul 21, 2023, 5:44 AM

glacial aurora how long do i have to wait

olive nymph Jul 21, 2023, 5:46 AM

fortunately you haven't installed a Python package that conflicts with what Pacman manages.

You can delete these files manually.

glacial aurora Jul 21, 2023, 5:49 AM

#

i think there should be something in here?

olive nymph Jul 21, 2023, 5:49 AM

#

glacial aurora Jul 21, 2023, 5:50 AM

#

olive nymph Would you kindly run ``` lostfiles ``` and post the output?

I just did sudo pip install pycario in a VM to see what would happen.

#

For your information, pycario is included by pacman in the python-cario package.

pacman -Q python-cario

#

stat /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/cairo

glacial aurora Jul 21, 2023, 5:59 AM

#

did i f up my system? :(

olive nymph Jul 21, 2023, 5:59 AM

#

Sorry it's

pacman -Q python-cairo

glacial aurora Jul 21, 2023, 5:59 AM

#

ooh thx

#

it doesn't say [installed] even i reinstalled it

olive nymph Jul 21, 2023, 6:00 AM

#

glacial aurora it doesn't say [installed] even i reinstalled it

What is the output?

#

stat /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pycairo*.dist-info

#

Then nothing needs attention, your system is fine.

glacial aurora Jul 21, 2023, 6:03 AM

#

olive nymph Jul 21, 2023, 6:03 AM
