Dependency check for xz instead of xz-utils on Arch-based distros #4

Closed yochananmarqos closed 6 years ago

yochananmarqos commented 6 years ago

When I install aptik on Manjaro Linux, I receive this message:

Following packages could not be installed. Please install these manually:
 > xz-utils

xz-utils no longer exists in the Arch repos as xz replaces it.

will be fixed in next update

AntiNSA commented 6 years ago

Where can I find xzutils? I really need to use aptik in Manjaro... Thanks

AntiNSA commented 6 years ago

hmmm.. I already have xz-utils installed... when do you think this will be fixed? I have 7 computers here I really need to use aptik with. That would be greatif you could fix it quickly

yochananmarqos commented 6 years ago

@AntiNSA As I already mentioned, xz has replaced xz-utils.

@yochananmarqos Did you find a way to get it to work? I have 7 students computers I need to update .. and aptik is my main tool... changing all from ubuntu to manjaro since 18.04 mandb has huge problems on ubuntu.....

I thought aptik worked on MAnjaro... finally got Manjaro all tweaked out and ready to copy for the other students.. and when I go to install aptik i find this error : (

yochananmarqos commented 6 years ago

@AntiNSA If you already have xz installed, ignore the error. You need both aptik and aptik-gtk installed if you want to use the GUI.

AntiNSA commented 6 years ago

can you give me a link to download the gtk *.sh version? I am new to manjaro..... thanks

AntiNSA commented 6 years ago

@yochananmarqos @teejee2008

https://github.com/teejee2008/aptik/releases is missing the .sh for the gtk file....

yochananmarqos commented 6 years ago

@AntiNSA Use the .run file. Same for aptik-gtk: https://github.com/teejee2008/aptik-gtk/releases

AntiNSA commented 6 years ago

@yochananmarqos sorry for my ignorance... I changed persmissions to allow to run as program, and then sudo ./aptik-v18.5.1-amd64.run and I have no aptik-gtk , I only have aptik , the command line version...

can you tell me how to get the aptik-gtk to install in manjaro?

Thanks

AntiNSA commented 6 years ago

@yochananmarqos my mistake : ) Thanks for your help. I see its the right link.
