[SOLVED] OCTOPI don't visualize the standard package only AUR

Hi, after the last upgrade of alpm, pacman, etc... I discover, yesterday evening, that Octopi don't visualize the standard package, but only the installed AUR package.
I've installed the artix-archlinux-support and I've also update the pacman.conf, adding the entry for the arch repository. With pacman and the normal upgrade/installation all is fine, simply Octopi. I use it to search package and so on. I tried also to recompile it, but the problem remain.

The other point, always with Octopi is that if I try to search a package in AUR, it crashed. In standard repo, nothing happen, but nothing is visualized.

Thank you for the help.

Packages can be searched for by using the -Ss <search text> switch of pacman or your AUR helper (yay, pikaur...). For example:

Code: [Select]
$ pacman -Ss syncthing

will find syncthing, syncthing-s6, etc. Add | less to page output:

Code: [Select]
$ pacman -Ss syncthing | less

This also searches the descriptions. For example:

Code: [Select]
$ pacman -Ss flac | less

will find all packages related to .flac music format.

Also, don't forget to uncomment "Color" string in /etc/pacman.conf in order to make pacman output colorized. Monochrome pacman search output is almost unreadable.

Thank you for the info: useful. The question, despite pacman commands, I use always pacman to do all, is that I'm using octopi from a lot of time and sometime, to use the click is relaxing: is not mandatory to remember always the syntax of pacman :-)

Try octopi-git
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/octopi-git/
as it looks like those issues might have been fixed by this commit made a short time ago:
https://github.com/aarnt/octopi/commit/f5b9270bbdf633f3d7fe14224bb09d6b4ce4412c

 I did, but probably that patch has not been yet applied and... today I'm too tired to verify all. Thank you for the advice, I'll control the upgrade and I'll report when the problem will be solved.

Since yesterdays updates, octopi works properly with pacman6.
