<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>TL;DR<br/> GNOME Software removed most packages and I didn&#39;t create a snapshot of my /var directory and now pacman thinks most packages aren&#39;t installed.</p> <p>&#x200B;</p> <p>So... I managed to pull the Linus and nuke my DE by uninstalling &quot;Avahi Zeroconf Browser&quot; which supposedly uninstalled basically everything. (Yes, I sadly did it using GNOME software and everything was just gone without any message after typing password.)</p> <p>Because I though, that i am something going to need it I setup snapper and snap-pac to make snapshots on every package install, but due to my (mis)configuration It didn&#39;t create a snapshot from /var/lib/pacman directory. So basically I got everything installed, but pacman thinks nothing is installed. </p> <p>Is there some way to fix this, or am I left with doing a complete reinstall?</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> &#32; submitted by &#32; <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/florian_7843"> /u/florian_7843 </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/qybac8/i_used_btrfs_to_rollback_my_system_but_i_didnt/">[link]</a></span> &#32; <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/qybac8/i_used_btrfs_to_rollback_my_system_but_i_didnt/">[comments]</a></span>
