Handling .deb files in PKGBUILDs [Solved]
Hi,
I am looking for a package that uses .deb files, want to check out how to extract .debs
Anyone know of a PKGBUILD that uses them or a way of extracting .debs ?
Thanks

deb2targz is the usual suggestion - it's in community. AFAIR, a .deb is an ar archive, with a tarball (or two) inside it, if you prefer to do it by hand.
