Hi there !

I am trying to install inkspace.

Pacman gives me:

~$ 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.
