Remove old packages from the cache to free up disk space. When pacman

'\--clean' switch to remove old packages; use two to remove all packages
from the cache.
Remove old packages from the cache as well as unused sync databases to
free up disk space. When pacman downloads packages, it saves them in a
cache directory. In addition, databases are saved for every sync DB you
download from, and are not deleted even if they are removed from the
configuration file manlink:pacman.conf[5]. Use one '\--clean' switch to
only remove old packages; use two to remove all packages from the cache.
In both cases, you will have a yes or no option to remove packages and/or
unused downloaded databases.

Install all dependencies of a package, but not the specified package

Download a fresh copy of the master package list from the server(s)
