@brisbin33, after a reboot (and installing pacman-contrib) everything works again as expected. as i can't reproduce the behaviour either, just ignore the msg please. thx for maintaining this nice piece of software btw!

Hmm. I can't reproduce that here, can you please tell me the full command-line you're running? Also, the full output of bash -x downgrade <whatever you run> (please use a paste site of some kind).

FWIW, the script doesn't pass any pacman args itself, though it does accept them like downgrade -- <pacman args> and pass them along. So, if you're running downgrade <package> -- --color never and getting this error, you should... stop doing that :)

For everyone else: I did have to go through a minor update dance because of how old and new pacman provide and/or conflict with pacman-contrib:

  • pacman -Rsn downgrade
  • pacman -Syu
  • auget downgrade (installs pacman-contrib)

hi @brisbin33, i get the following error when trying to upgrade to the latest version:

/usr/bin/pacman: unknown option »--color never«

pacman was upgraded to 5.1.0.

Thanks for letting me know, depends added.

Same error here (/usr/bin/downgrade: line 124: pacsort: command not found) after upgrading pacman to 5.1.0-1.

Running this script currently gives the following error: /usr/bin/downgrade: line 124: pacsort: command not found

Package should depend on 'pacman-contrib', as pacsort has been moved.

Thanks for the report JohnRobson. Unfortunately, this has nothing to do with downgrade. It's an error coming from pacman directly, and is likely caused by repo.archlinux.fr having an outage. You can confirm this with # pacman -U http://repo.archlinux.fr/x86_64/downgrade-5.4.1-1-any.pkg.tar.xz IIRC installing from repo.archlinux.fr was some weird Yaourt thing that's not recommend. Please see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages for the correct way to install downgrade.

Could you replace the "A.R.M." mention to "A.L.A." in the description?

Done.
