I'm a new to arch linux, how would one install this package (its not showing up in pacman).

helix commented on 2018-07-11 08:44

@sgon00

sudo pacman -Rs debtap && sudo rm -rf /var/cache/debtap (as normal user)

or

pacman -Rs debtap && rm -rf /var/cache/debtap (as root)

Can anyone tell me how to properly uninstall this package? I thought yaourt -Rs debtap will take care of everything until I found out there was 1.2GB files in /var/cache/debtap/. This is crazy. Linux really needs a good way to uninstall programs...

hello, just in case it's useful : to adapt ultracopier_1.4.0.3-1_amd64.deb, I had to change the script /us/bin/debtap in line 148 from :

ar p "$package_with_full_path" control.tar.gz | tar xz to ar p "$package_with_full_path" control.tar.xz | tar -Jx

that's all folks

Do I need /var/cache/debtap/* files? It takes 1.1 GB.

@keshav26

Use the github latest version, or wait a couple of days for 3.0
