Guzuta / Gtkpacman

So I'm trying to install a GUI Frontend for pacman, either guzuta or gtkpacman.  I tried pacman -S guzuta (gtkpacman).  I also have the community repositories open.  Is there something else I need to do to get these?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Guzuta / Gtkpacman

Okay, I think I figured out all this AUR stuff.  Now, I've come to another snag.  I started the PKGBUILD for Guzuta, and I needed pynealpm, so I found it and AUR and started to do that.  But I need libalpm for Pynealpm, and I have no idea what that is.  It is in neither pacman nor AUR and all I can find through google is some vague references to it, but nothing on what it is or how to get it.

Re: Guzuta / Gtkpacman

Try makepkg -s next time...it should grab all dependencies through pacman.
Try man makepkg for more.

It still can't resolve the dependency for libalpm.

Re: Guzuta / Gtkpacman

Reading the comments on AUR, it seems like both projects are outdated, and might be dead.

There is no such thing as a libalpm package, since libalpm is included in the pacman package.

> pacman -Ql pacman |grep -E "(lib|include)/"
pacman /usr/include/alpm.h
pacman /usr/include/alpm_list.h
pacman /usr/lib/libalpm.a
pacman /usr/lib/libalpm.so
pacman /usr/lib/libalpm.so.1
pacman /usr/lib/libalpm.so.1.0.0

pacman roulette : pacman -S $(pacman -Slq | LANG=C sort -R | head -n $((RANDOM % 10)))

Re: Guzuta / Gtkpacman

I might be having a different problem all together.  I tried doing makepkg -S for aurbuild.  I am still having the same kind of problem.  It's missing a dependency, then it checks Buildtime Dependencies.  Then I get an error, could not resolve all dependencies.

Re: Guzuta / Gtkpacman

-s, not -S .. install yaourt

pacman -U http://repo.archlinux.fr/i686/yaourt-0.8.3-1.pkg.tar.gz

then use yaourt liek you would pacman ... like, yaourt -S pkgname
