[SOLVED] libwebp hasn't installed dwebp or cwebp

Hi, I have libwebp installed but I don't have the dwebp or cwebp commands available. `locate {c,d}webp` does not show either program installed, though it does show the manpages are installed.

I've tried reinstalling with `pacman -S` to no avail.

Re: [SOLVED] libwebp hasn't installed dwebp or cwebp

Those are apparently packaged in "libwebp-utils"
(this package was split up in september 2025. it looks like the man-pages ended up in the old package, while the commands were moved over to the utils-package)

Thank you! Problem solved

When I looked on man.archlinux.org it suggested that dwebp and cwebp were associated with libwebp—probably the manpages should be moved so people know what to install.

I created an issue for this. We'll see if someone gets around to changing it.
