As of pkgrel 4 we no longer need to use my key. Please get Bastien's key from hkps://keyring.debian.org/ (https://keyring.debian.org/) ONLY, as ones on other keyservers are expired.

If you don't want to watch a cripple type you can just take my word for it @xiota is railing against nothing:

ORLY?

(That is a session you can play back with scriptreplay. PE firmly between KAC.)

making the entire package uninstallable because each subpackage conflicts with the others

Never was true to my knowledge and certainly isn't as of 0.0.19-2.

sensible-browser, sensible-editor, sensible-pager cannot normally be installed simultaneously.

From aur/sensible-pager:

Package Details: sensible-pager 0.0.19-2
Conflicts: sensible-browser, sensible-editor, sensible-pager

making the entire package uninstallable because each subpackage conflicts with the others

Never was true to my knowledge and certainly isn't as of 0.0.19-2.

sensible-utils should never have been split. Instead, a new pkgbase, such as sensible-utils-split, should have been created. Consequences of splitting include:

• breaking packages that depend on it
• complicating building and resolving dependencies of packages that depend on it
• increased build time
• more complicated installation of the package
• making the entire package uninstallable because each subpackage conflicts with the others

This package also uses experimental releases.

• pkgbase should be renamed to indicate that it is experimental, like sensible-utils-experimental-split
• description should be updated to indicate it is experimental
• URL should be updated to https://packages.debian.org/source/experimental/sensible-utils

I apologize for signing the package myself, but Bastien Roucariès, the maintainer, has not done so with a key that will remain valid past the 11th of June. I've emailed with some alarm about this. If he reissues his key I will reissue the package.

What is «a fd»? Can you try «pacman -Ql»?

Note that it is now a metapackage so you can choose which ones you want.

[fred@デブ狸 ~/Workspace/aur/sensible-utils]$ pacman -Ql sensible-{pager,browser}|grep -Pv '/$|\.gz'
sensible-pager /usr/bin/sensible-pager
sensible-browser /usr/bin/sensible-browser

installing this package doesn't seem to do anything. after install i don't have any of the programs on my system. doing a fd says they aren't installed.

Hello friends,

Bit of a breaking change to this package as of 0.0.17-3. It's now a metapackage providing:

sensible-pager sensible-editor sensible-browser sensible-utils-data

you'll have to uninstall it as you'll get conflicts before updating.

Consider dropping country-specific mirror. Remove .de.
