I have a package that's installed on my PC as a dependency of another package.
I would like to have the package explicitly installed, but without actually re-installing it, or downloading any files.
Is this possible?
I do not have any packages cached in /var/cache/pacman/pkg
, which is one of the reasons I want to change the package detail without a re-install.
Even If I had the packages cached, running pacman -S <package>
would mean the whole install process is run, which I also want to avoid.
