Re: file command : problem with magic files

The 'No such file or directory' appears because something went wrong with the extraction of the avld source file.

"file: could not find any magic files!" points to a problem with the linux file command, not a problem with makepkg.

as root, do

pacman -S file

to reinstall the file command.

please change the title to something like : "file command : problem with magic files"

@Moderators : this topic should be moved to a more appropriate section.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky
