Just installed a fresh, new endeavouros system. Went to install pamac and got this instead:

(theres a lot more but konsole can’t handle the upper page) What cause the problem?

don’t use graphical package managers myself as I believe they are bloat and garbage however from what I can see you have some parts of the package that are missing

could be a bad download and may just need to re run the command to get it to install

3

might be glib, but i had tried it and it still didnt work

i tried it multiple times, didn’t work either

4

This is pretty normal. pamac is built for Manjaro. On Arch, sometimes it builds, sometimes it doesn’t.

pamac-aur should be built, at least I had no trouble with it, until I grew up and no longer needed it for anything

GUI package managers are not supported on EndeavourOS. Pamac is not developed or packaged by the EndeavourOS team.

If I were to make a wild guess, the reason why it doesn’t build is probably because you have newer dependencies than what it expects. You could try to post about your issue on the AUR page of pamac-all:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pamac-all

You could also try bulding the version from git.

Or you could learn how to use pacman, the only package manager that is supported on EndeavourOS, or even yay.

Or you could distrohop to Manjaro, it comes with Pamac out of the box.

I had the same exact problem on Artix. (Neither Arch nor Artix provide support for AUR packages, that’s done by the maintainer of each individual package…) Plus pamac is developed for Manjaro, its prone to breaking too. Best way would be to install by terminal using pacman or yay…

Anywa… problem you described I have solved it myself by installing pamac-gtk (via pacman in terminal from the Artix “Universe” repo)

Hope it helps you out.

From the AUR, the pamac-all-git version will not work either. I have tested that. It fails because of pamac-all and the deprecated dependency pamac-cli.

There is a manual for the Chaotic-AUR where the guys from Garuda LInux had taken care of it. But Garuda-Linux has officially decided against Snap and Flatpak and so this is not a solution anymore. There pamac will probably disappear too.
See here:
https://itsfoss.com/install-pamac-arch-linux/
https://wiki.garudalinux.org/ru/how-to-snap-flatpak

@ imnotrev There is certainly a way to install pamac and scrap your system.

valid point ngl

yeah its pretty great

:0

yeah pamac have a high chance to disappear from the aur.

yes.

thx for all the suggestion and help guys, appreciated it :smiley:
