Sorry if I missed a memo, but I need Eterm to run fbsetbg properly.
But [Ee]term doesn't seem to be in any of the repositories.
Where is it?

That's be cause it is no longer listed as a supported terminal app.. It's in the AUR under unsupported...

Thanks. I just found it and I'm building it now.

You can use feh and other wallpaper setters, Eterm is not required for fbsetbg.
Also take a look at nitrogen for a different approach.

WHY? Would be my question to the idiot who decided to do this. Shit load of extra work. THANK YOU

svienemann, not very cracious are we.. Devs put in a lot of work maintaining packages and not every terminal app can or will be maintained..I don't get the to "much work", you compile once and you're done. I don't think eterm is even maintained upstream anymore..so it makes sense not to have it in the main repos.

Not for a package that very few people use. That's what AUR unsupported is FOR! Community is for packages that a TU is willing to maintain but is not important enough to be supported by the distro. If Eterm in unsupported got a lot of votes, it would end up in there.

Even so, fluxbox is still in community last i checked, so why stop supporting one of the dependencies for backgrounds?
/me trodes off to waste 5minutes to make his own package

All I can say is start voting...
Also look at the link below for a list of wallpaper setters that fluxbox supports... As you can see eterm isn't required...
