Today I installed Archlinux and I tried to install the following package 'dpkg' from the AUR. I tried 2 methods:
pacman -S dpkg
and after that failed I downloaded the *.tar.gz and tried:
pacman -U dpkg.tar.gz
At the first option I got the following error:
[root@localhost andreas]# pacman -S dpkg
Fehler: Ziel nicht gefunden: dpkg
and at the second option I got this error:
[root@localhost Downloads]# pacman -U dpkg.tar.gz
Lade Pakete...
Fehler: Fehlende Paket-Metadaten in dpkg.tar.gz
Fehler: 'dpkg.tar.gz': Ungültiges oder beschädigtes Paket
The error is in German and means "Invalid or Damaged Package".
I don't get why pacman can't find the package because it's here:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dpkg
I'm fairly new to Archlinux, I have mainly used Debian and its Derivates before.
