Suddenly I have the same issue as reported by hotice, but my pacman.conf hasn't changed for months.

Huh, that's weird and unexpected. I thought I was using curl -O (which downloads using the basename of the URL), which would be the full package-version-arch. Do you mind opening this as an Issue on the repository?

Would recommend setting a local download name for the source tarball [1]. v6.2.1.tar.gz in't very unique, and collides when makepkg is configured to use a downloads directory that is shared with other packages. Cheers

@nhw install pacman-contrib

oops, my bad. For some reason pacman.conf had its sections repeated 3 times! After deleting triplicates seems fine now, sorry!

Hmm, doesn't look like an error in the command. Seems like it can't read your Pacman log. There could be a few reasons for this:

  • New Pacman is putting the file elsewhere
  • New Pacman is now storing the file 600
  • New Pacman is storing the file 640 and you're not in whatever group it is

(Or you're configured Pacman to do these things.)

What does sudo ls -l /var/log/pacman.log and sudo cat /etc/pacman.conf say?

Feel free to open an Issue in the project GitHub if you prefer interacting there.

is there an argument error in sed call?
$ downgrade firefox
sed: can't read /var/log/pacman.log
/var/log/pacman.log
/var/log/pacman.log: No such file or directory
Available packages:

1) firefox-61.0.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz (remote)
2) firefox-61.0.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz (local)

FWIW, I also maintain the AUR helper aurget, which was able to install downgrade for me :)

@johnwallaby I got the same error when trying to install downgrade for the first time. I didn't have pacman-contrib installed. It worked when I manually installed pacman-contrib and tried again. I'm using pacaur, which is probably the issue (been meaning to switch to something else for a long time). If you're also using pacaur, this may be your issue.
