FWIW, I also maintain the AUR helper aurget, which was able to install downgrade for me :)

@johnwallaby I got the same error when trying to install downgrade for the first time. I didn't have pacman-contrib installed. It worked when I manually installed pacman-contrib and tried again. I'm using pacaur, which is probably the issue (been meaning to switch to something else for a long time). If you're also using pacaur, this may be your issue.

@brisbin33, after a reboot (and installing pacman-contrib) everything works again as expected. as i can't reproduce the behaviour either, just ignore the msg please. thx for maintaining this nice piece of software btw!

Hmm. I can't reproduce that here, can you please tell me the full command-line you're running? Also, the full output of bash -x downgrade <whatever you run> (please use a paste site of some kind).

FWIW, the script doesn't pass any pacman args itself, though it does accept them like downgrade -- <pacman args> and pass them along. So, if you're running downgrade <package> -- --color never and getting this error, you should... stop doing that :)

For everyone else: I did have to go through a minor update dance because of how old and new pacman provide and/or conflict with pacman-contrib:

  • pacman -Rsn downgrade
  • pacman -Syu
  • auget downgrade (installs pacman-contrib)

hi @brisbin33, i get the following error when trying to upgrade to the latest version:

/usr/bin/pacman: unknown option »--color never«

pacman was upgraded to 5.1.0.

Thanks for letting me know, depends added.

Same error here (/usr/bin/downgrade: line 124: pacsort: command not found) after upgrading pacman to 5.1.0-1.

Running this script currently gives the following error: /usr/bin/downgrade: line 124: pacsort: command not found

Package should depend on 'pacman-contrib', as pacsort has been moved.
