[SOLVED] repo-add unable to read archives
Hi guys,
shouldnt this normally work?
[root@ikarus pkg]# LANG=C repo-add -n *
==> ERROR: 'a52dec-0.7.4-8-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz' does not have a valid archive extension.
[root@ikarus pkg]# LANG=C pacman -U a52dec-0.7.4-8-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
loading packages...
warning: a52dec-0.7.4-8 is up to date -- reinstalling
