Re: pamac-aur and octopi update problem

Please post output in [ code ] tags.

That's a known issue with the current version of pacman, will be fixed in the next release.. I'm not entirely sure anymore where one should configure how pacaur calls pacman, but you could use makepkg or in general make use of a maintained AUR helper as itnermediate solutions.

Re: pamac-aur and octopi update problem

Yes.  First, read the Code of Conduct and learn how to use code tags when pasting to the boards.

Second, learn how to build packages manually and stop relying on AUR helpers.

Re: pamac-aur and octopi update problem

I read that pacaur is now not maintained, so perhaps that might out of date, and calling for replaced libraries.
I had a similar problem on Sunday, for me it was pamac-aur GUI crashing, and I replaced/updated pamac with yaourt, but on trying to install yaourt first , pacman failed to find it.  What I did was install yaourt by building from "wget https://github.com/archlinuxfr/yaourt/releases/download/1.9/yaourt-1.9.tar.gz", and then  "yaourt pamac" installed pamac-aur 6.4.0-1 for me, and it works fine.  You might try the same.

I don't use octopi.

Point taken, and I can do the first, but I have not been able to figure out how to use pacman to show you what packages are available, and what they do.  The GUI does that.  Can you point me to a suitable pacman explanation?

You mean from the AUR?  No, pacman will not do that.  This is one of the major problems of some AUR helpers (and definitely of that archlinux.fr repo, get rid of that): you don't understand the distinction between repo packages and PKGBUILDs in the AUR.  Gain some experience with just using makepkg first:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … Repository

As for searching, you can do that via the web:
https://aur.archlinux.org/

There are also tools that can search the AUR without obscurring all the other steps of building packages.

Re: pamac-aur and octopi update problem

V1del,

1) how would one "post output in [ code ] tags"?

2) what AUR helpers are currently maintained?

Thank you for the information.

Re: pamac-aur and octopi update problem

The BBCode link below the reply box.  The wiki already has a list of AUR helpers and their statuses.

So maybe you don't know, that you cannot install octopi by yaourt (it fails). See pinned  comments
