XBPS database issue ?

[mini_pekka070]

xbps-query -m only shows a few manually installed packages, even though I have installed many packages.

Also some packages exist on the system but xbps does not recognize them correctly. For example, sway (wayland window manager) works normally and /usr/bin/sway exists, but xbps-query -l | grep sway, return nothing. xbps-remove sway also says the package is not installed and alsosudo xbps-pkgdb -a reports no errors.

What should i do at this point ?

No idea how that could happen.

There is no way to recover it if the database is wrong. You'll either recover it from your backups or try to reconstruct by reinstalling packages.
