Fake root for debtap 1.35 not found?

I’m trying to install debtap from withing the GUI software app and experience an error of not finding fakeroot-1.35-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst.

Is it because it should be 1.36 or needs to come from another source?

I don’t really understand what I’m reading but from https://pkgs.org/download/fakeroot it appears that it is not in core?

I tried installing fakeroot 1.35-1 only and it fails.

Thank you.

You need base-devel to use the AUR.

And to read the things.

Thank you. I’m likely being dense but would you please tell me how that is to work if base-devel requires fakeroot?

I tried to install base-devel on the CLI and within the GUI and both fail because they start with fakeroot 1.35-1 which cannot be found.

Also, if search for base-devel (Arch Linux - base-devel 1-2 (any)) it shows 1-2 not 1-3 as in the GUI pamac; and if click on fakeroot in that page’s dependencies list it navigates to version 1.36.(Arch Linux - fakeroot 1.36-1 (x86_64)).

I don’t know enough about this but it appears there is not a 1.35 in core.

I’m not implying anything is incorrect, only that it doesn’t seem clear to me what the issue is.

The GUI pamac recognizes that I didn’t have base-devel 1-3 installed and had it and its dependencies in the list to load but fails at fake root 1.35 just the same.

pamac install base-devel git                                                                                                                                                                      ✔

You might need to refresh your mirrors & database, as all branches now have fakeroot version 1.36-1 in them:

According to my local mirror, fakeroot 1.36 has been available in Stable branch for more than a month:

fakeroot-1.36-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst 76.4 KB 2024-08-19 03:59:47

Although I am trying to work out why Pamac didn’t automatically run an an update when the OP entered the command pamac install base-devel git. Whenever I run a pamac install command, one of the first things it does is synchronise the databases and install updates (if available):

pamac install python-tqdm

But the topic starter’s pamac install goes straight to “Resolving dependencies…”, seeming to skip the extremely important syncing of the package databases.

Thank you. So stupid of me to overlook these items. Focused on how to convert the driver from deb to arch. It all installed now.

The pamac cli does not thave commands related to updating mirrors. The GUI has a menu entry for it.

@Gary1
custom scripts will never have a dependency registered for any package provided with the base-devel group/meta definition.

That is because it is part of the required knowledge provided with the wiki page on AUR - whether you read the Manjaro Linux page or the Arch Linux equivalent.
