After I did the following everything worked fine. cd /var/cache sudo chmod 755 debtap/ sudo chmod 644 debtap/*

You mean now a normal user cannot use it?

debtap needs to be used as a root user for updating the cache in /var/cache As a new user to Arch Linux new files created by root have modes of 711 for directories and 600 for files using sudo. Thus I end up with: drwx--x--x 2 root root 4.0K Nov 2 07:46 debtap -rw------- 1 root root 432K Nov 2 07:46 aur-packages -rw------- 1 root root 424M Nov 2 07:43 debian-packages-files -rw------- 1 root root 464M Nov 2 07:46 ubuntu-packages-files It might be wise to verify the mode and if the /var/cache/debtap directory does not have a mode of 755 then enter a chmod command chmod 755 /var/cache/deptab and chmod 644 /var/cache/debtap/* which would make it possible to use debtap as a normal user.

Read my comment bellow about Manjaro, synchronization works perfectly here, I just tested it!

When you run the command "sudo -u deb tap" generates an error in the search of the repositories, imposibilitando the subsequent implementation of the debstap. In Manjaro I get an error.

This has been mentioned many times before. pkgfile doesn't work (yet) in Manjaro, please ask on their boards about this!

In Manjaro debtap -u does give errors, and it does not work asking to run debtap -u . I was trying to port YUMI to AUR from http://www.pendrivelinux.com/downloads/YUMI/debian/yumi_0.0.1-1_all.deb and http://www.pendrivelinux.com/downloads/YUMI/ubuntu/yumi_0.0.1.orig.tar.gz as I noticed it is still not here, and as I am a newbie making packages if someone does it before I do, thanks in advance.

>I know, I just like GPLv2 better :) OK, then. >If there is no license, you just press Enter. The problem was no feedback after I do that, so I thought debtap was erroneously waiting for more input :) Hadn't realized the notebook fans are working harder ;)

I know, I just like GPLv2 better :)

Sorry for not being clear, GPL2 should be used in the PKGBUILD of debtap itself because that's what it's called in the Archlinux license package.
