Hey Nigel and the gang; Well, I *think* that unless someone wants to re-write and maintain jacman, you would be best advised to not use it. I would suggest 'yaourt' as a replacement. It works very nicely here for what I need out of such a program, and it is being actively maintained as pacman evolves. Very best regards; Bob Finch P.S.. Jacman is a great idea, so *IF* someone brings it up to date, I am sure it would be VERY popular.
Jacman hasn't worked properly, as regards installing packages since I installed don't panic. Saying that I have been able to install the odd single package, that has no deps, but as of today, even installing single packages (alsaplayer as an example) fails.
Jacman opens ok, and I click on "Install Packages", and that's ok, but when I select a package to install, and click on "Install", a window, like a terminal (CLI) (dialog window) opens. As soon as this window opens, the CPU hits 100%. The output in this console says: resolving dependencies looking for inter-conflicts and in red proceed with installation? [Y/n]
The bottom of the console window has "Done", "Yes", and "No" boxes, but none are highlighted. As I've said, on the odd occasion I have been able to install a single package, and in this case the Yes, and No boxes have been highlighted, and the Done box is highlighted when the package is installed.
Before I post a bug report for Jacman, has anyone any suggestions?
Nigel.
