I can't seem to find the "pm-utils" package in the main repositories anymore. I installed it just fine on another laptop maybe 3 weeks ago. Is there another package which replaces it? I didn't see any mention of it being removed on the ArchLinux.org homepage. And then I searched the Arch Linux Package Search page as well without luck.

It's not even in the Arch User Repository! The only thing close is the outdated and Debian-patched version of "pm-utils". So what package should everyone be using now?

Search the wiki. It explains why it is gone.

pm-utils is outdated and breaks with systemd, you should be using systemd's suspension/hibernation utilities instead, which is noted here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pm-utils there's not going to be a mention since it isn't a core package of anything

Thank you, but I wasn't asking why it's gone. I was just noting that it was removed from the repos and wondered what I should use for my hibernation script I use at night while I fall asleep watching old shows.

Thank you. I am still not super familiar with systemd yet. But I did find my answer in a reply to a totally different topic on a totally different post back from when systemd was first introduced. All I have to do is change
pm-suspend
to read
systemctl suspend
and it's as easy as that.
