It doesn't directly depend on python3-memoizedb. Some of its dependencies do, but those already specify python3-memoizedb in their respective dependencies arrays.

please add dependency python3-memoizedb

Powerpill strictly interprets the SigLevel directives in pacman.conf. Adjust them accordingly. The official repos do not provide database signatures so they should be set to "PackageRequired".

powerpill fails to sync package databases I am using worldwide repos from the very latest pacman mirrorlist, but it was the same with my years old repos too. pacman and yaourt have no issues like this. $ sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys $ sudo rm -R /var/lib/pacman/sync/ $ sudo powerpill -Sy [...] Download Results: gid |stat|avg speed |path/URI ======+====+===========+======================================================= b3dbb1|OK | 0B/s|/var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db 46b248|OK | 443KiB/s|/var/lib/pacman/sync/multilib.db d732cb|ERR | 0B/s|/var/lib/pacman/sync/multilib.db.sig d02426|ERR | 0B/s|/var/lib/pacman/sync/extra.db.sig e288d6|ERR | 0B/s|/var/lib/pacman/sync/community.db.sig a8c94f|ERR | 0B/s|/var/lib/pacman/sync/core.db.sig 682224|OK | 379KiB/s|/var/lib/pacman/sync/community.db 7f5ccb|OK | 74KiB/s|/var/lib/pacman/sync/core.db [...] Status Legend: (OK):download completed.(ERR):error occurred. both pacman and yaourt are fine $ sudo rm -R /var/lib/pacman/sync/ $ sudo pacman -Sy :: Synchronizing package databases... core 120.6 KiB 251K/s 00:00 [##########################################] 100% extra 1756.4 KiB 547K/s 00:03 [##########################################] 100% community 3.7 MiB 610K/s 00:06 [##########################################] 100% multilib 184.4 KiB 132K/s 00:01 [##########################################] 100%

@alive4ever You're right. I've made a note of it and will move the pages when I finally have time to release the refactored backend. I doubt that I will include a section 8 man page through because the argparse library does a good enough job documenting the extra options (without needing to keep two documents in sync) and the rest emulate pacman. Thanks for pointing out the error.

powerpill.json manpage should be located on section 5 instead of section 1, according to intro(1) and intro(5). It would be better to include a manual page for powerpill command in section 8, though.

@hpstg I have updated pm2ml to fix the problem. Thanks for the notification.

I have been gradually working on a new backend for a while. It is available for testing here[1]. It is not entirely backwards-compatible so please give it a try now and get ready to migrate your configuration files and scripts. Extension developers are most welcome :D. Please keep related discussion in the forum thread. [1] https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=214706

@KnightMustard Failed how? Did it complain about an unknown signing key? If so, that's because you need to import the key yourself to your personal keyring (not the pacman keyring). Examples of how to import the key are posted in comments on my other packages packages. Check the wiki as well.
