Title: pacman can't find package it lists under -Ss
Post by: wanwalk on 21 December 2023, 20:16:24
Hi there !

I am trying to install inkspace.

Pacman gives me:

Code: [Select]
~$ sudo pacman -Ss inkspace
~$


but
Code: [Select]
$ sudo  pacman -Ss ink

includes
Code: [Select]
.
..
...
world/hplip 1:3.23.12-1
    Drivers for HP DeskJet, OfficeJet, Photosmart, Business Inkjet and some
    LaserJet
   
world/inkscape 1.3.2-3
    Professional vector graphics editor

world/knavalbattle 23.08.4-1 (kde-applications kde-games)
    A ship sinking game
...
..
.

Google had no suggestions to several combinations.

Artix is installed on an external USB hard disk , with 3 Linux distros.

I have no idea about where to start.

Enclosing the information on my machine. When I tried to do it in my first attempt to post, I lost the post (draft had not been saved).

The second time I took no risks.

So tragic I had to laugh!  I had also totally goofed on the title. There are real physiological reasons, unfortunately, no kidding.
