Thank you. That solved the issue. I was able to create an Arch package for the deb packaged driver ... no errors encountered during the debtap process. However when I tried to install the newly created Arch package I get the falling error: sudo pacman -U cndrvcups-common-4.10-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
loading packages... resolving dependencies... warning: cannot resolve "cupsys", a dependency of "cndrvcups-common" warning: cannot resolve "gs-esp", a dependency of "cndrvcups-common" :: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies: cndrvcups-common

:: Do you want to skip the above package for this upgrade? [y/N] Is this in anyway related to the debtap conversion process?

@leo00

debtap officially supports only Arch. If you want to use it with an Arch derivative, comment the extra repos of your distro in /etc/pacman.conf, then synchronize debtap, then uncomment those repos.

Tried to use debtap and encountered this problem: debtap cndrvcups-common_4.10-1_amd64.deb
Error: You must run at least once "debtap -u" with root privileges (preferably recently), before running this script

sudo debtap -u

Need assistance in getting this to work.

I'm a new to arch linux, how would one install this package (its not showing up in pacman).

helix commented on 2018-07-11 08:44 (UTC)

@sgon00

sudo pacman -Rs debtap && sudo rm -rf /var/cache/debtap (as normal user)

or

pacman -Rs debtap && rm -rf /var/cache/debtap (as root)

Can anyone tell me how to properly uninstall this package? I thought yaourt -Rs debtap will take care of everything until I found out there was 1.2GB files in /var/cache/debtap/. This is crazy. Linux really needs a good way to uninstall programs...
