How to install cramfsswap?

Support Third-party Applications

I was trying to use binwalk and I can’t install cramfsswap. any help here?

2

I don’t see such a package in Manjaro’s repos or AUR. Why do you believe you can install it? It seems to be a Debian package.

By the way, binwalk-git was last updated 2018-08-13, so I guess the package is outdated. But you never told how you installed it…

one of the package i want to extract with binwalk is requesting for it

What package? Please tell us what you’re doing if you want help. We’re not here to play 20 questions.

so should i move to debian or will there be a solution?

The program is called fsck.cramfs in Manjaro/Arch. It is part of util-linux and probably already installed.

This program is not available, you need to get the source and compile it yourself.
