| Jun 8, 2024 at 23:03 | comment | added | Maxwell Zhao | This can have false positives/negatives for example with the r package which will match against every package containing an r. installed="|^"$(pacman -Q | cut -d ' ' -f 1 | tr '\n' '*' | sed 's/\*/$|^/g') seems to work for me. | |

To pass this on to pacman for installation, you to add another pipe: pacman -Ssq xfce4 | grep -E -v \'${installed}\' | pacman -S - | |
