[zev@archlinux apt]$ sudo apt modernize-sources
The following files need modernizing:
- /etc/apt/sources.list
Modernizing will replace .list files with the new .sources format,
add Signed-By values where they can be determined automatically,
and save the old files into .list.bak files.
This command supports the 'signed-by' and 'trusted' options. If you
have specified other options inside [] brackets, please transfer them
manually to the output files; see sources.list(5) for a mapping.
For a simulation, respond N in the following prompt.

[zev@archlinux Downloads]$ apt
apt 3.3.1 (amd64)
Usage: apt [options] command
apt is a commandline package manager and provides commands for
searching and managing as well as querying information about packages.
It provides the same functionality as the specialized APT tools,
like apt-get and apt-cache, but enables options more suitable for
interactive use by default.
Most used commands:
list - list packages based on package names
search - search in package descriptions
show - show package details
install - install packages
reinstall - reinstall packages
remove - remove packages
autoremove - automatically remove all unused packages
update - update list of available packages
upgrade - upgrade the system by installing/upgrading packages
full-upgrade - upgrade the system by removing/installing/upgrading packages
history-list - show list of history
history-info - show info on specific transactions
history-redo - redo transactions
history-undo - undo transactions
history-rollback - rollback transactions
edit-sources - edit the source information file
modernize-sources - modernize .list files to .sources files
satisfy - satisfy dependency strings
why - produce a reason trace for the current state of the package
why-not - produce a reason trace for the current state of the package
See apt(8) for more information about the available commands.
Configuration options and syntax is detailed in apt.conf(5).
Information about how to configure sources can be found in sources.list(5).
Package and version choices can be expressed via apt_preferences(5).
Security details are available in apt-secure(8).
This APT has Super Cow Powers.

install - Install new packages (pkg is libc6 not libc6.deb)
reinstall - Reinstall packages (pkg is libc6 not libc6.deb)
remove - Remove packages
purge - Remove packages and config files
autoremove - Remove automatically all unused packages
dist-upgrade - Distribution upgrade, see apt-get(8)
dselect-upgrade - Follow dselect selections
build-dep - Configure build-dependencies for source packages
satisfy - Satisfy dependency strings
clean - Erase downloaded archive files
autoclean - Erase old downloaded archive files
check - Verify that there are no broken dependencies
source - Download source archives
download - Download the binary package into the current directory

[zev@archlinux Downloads]$ apt
apt 3.3.1 (amd64)
Usage: apt [options] command
apt is a commandline package manager and provides commands for
searching and managing as well as querying information about packages.
It provides the same functionality as the specialized APT tools,
like apt-get and apt-cache, but enables options more suitable for
interactive use by default.
Most used commands:
list - list packages based on package names
search - search in package descriptions
show - show package details
install - install packages
reinstall - reinstall packages
remove - remove packages
autoremove - automatically remove all unused packages
update - update list of available packages
upgrade - upgrade the system by installing/upgrading packages
full-upgrade - upgrade the system by removing/installing/upgrading packages
history-list - show list of history
history-info - show info on specific transactions
history-redo - redo transactions
history-undo - undo transactions
history-rollback - rollback transactions
edit-sources - edit the source information file
modernize-sources - modernize .list files to .sources files
satisfy - satisfy dependency strings
why - produce a reason trace for the current state of the package
why-not - produce a reason trace for the current state of the package
See apt(8) for more information about the available commands.
Configuration options and syntax is detailed in apt.conf(5).
Information about how to configure sources can be found in sources.list(5).
Package and version choices can be expressed via apt_preferences(5).
Security details are available in apt-secure(8).
This APT has Super Cow Powers.

Re: Apt package in extra sucks
The apt/dnf package installs the Debian/Fedora package manager. It can be useful for those who want to create or modify deb/rpm files, but do not use it to install Debian/Fedora packages on Arch Linux. It will break your system!

The package is outdated and the code doesn't conform to modern standards used by default. You can fix PKGBUILD by yourself as described in the comment.
Or install ninvaders-git. It has fixes already applied.
