Re: Pacman fails on incoming? [Fxd]

incoming is not a normal repo.

there are no straight packages in it (there should not be anyway)

you have to download the tarballed directories in it  within the untarred directory is the package which you can install via pacman -A , which means that you have to solve dependencies yourself.
