Hi all, could someone please help, I’m trying to install Atlasvpn on my laptop using debtap, but get this error message: Warning: config file /etc/pacman.conf, line 100: directive ‘NoExtract’ in section ‘multilib’ not recognized.
warning: config file /etc/pacman.conf, line 101: directive ‘t’ in section ‘multilib’ not recognized.
grep: warning: stray \ before /

Thanks
A quick view reveals that the deb package just contains a ppa source when you click on download at the website: https://downloads.atlasvpn.com/apps/linux/atlasvpn-repo.deb
The real deb is here: https://repo.atlasvpn.com/debian/pool/main/a/atlasvpn/atlasvpn_1.0.2_amd64.deb
It is unclear what is happening on your side…
Hello,
Did you manually edited that file following some random internet instructions ? Please share from terminal:
cat /etc/pacman.conf
Your pacman.conf contains illegal configuration.
Revert any changes you have made to pacman.conf.
Unpack the deb file
ar atlasvpn_1.0.2_amd64.deb
From there it is pretty simple to continue.
The data.tar.xz contains the components and the control.tar.xz contains the instructions to be carried out by the installer.
Thanks all you guys for the feed back. I did not change any config files, basically, as a 72 year old guy, I am not that Linux literate! I will see if I can get the repair done. Thanks again.
This is what I got: /etc/pacman.conf

I am only 10y newer
Remove that last two lines from pacman.conf - save the file
NoExtract = usr/share/fonts/noto/* !*NotoMono-* !*NotoSansDisplay-*

Does this help?

It did helped the first time you posted it and @linux-aarhus suggested to remove the following lines from it
Save it and you should not see errors when updating …
Thanks, I just saw that, but sadly have no idea how to do that!
I tried nano, but got this message!
[ File ‘/etc/pacman.conf’ is unwritable ]
I also tried this:
[brianm@brian-hp ~]$ sudo pacman Su
warning: config file /etc/pacman.conf, line 100: directive ‘NoExtract’ in section ‘multilib’ not recognized.
warning: config file /etc/pacman.conf, line 101: directive ‘t’ in section ‘multilib’ not recognized.
error: no operation specified (use -h for help)
[brianm@brian-hp ~]$ -h
bash: -h: command not found
You can use
sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf
then go down to those lines and delete them, or you can go by direct sed command from terminal:
sudo sed -i '/NoExtract = usr/share/fonts/noto/* !*NotoMono-* !*NotoSansDisplay-*/d' /etc/pacman.conf
and then get rid of that t last line with
sudo sed -i '${/t/d;}' /etc/pacman.conf
Sorry i do not know a faster way, I have limited bash knowledge too
