Using pacman as the package manager
by budrz89 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#518HW)
Hi,
I was debating on which package manager to use for my LFS build. I used Slackware's package manager successfully but I couldn't get Arch Linux's Pacman to work. I followed this guide for Pacman on LFS 8.1 (modified it for LFS version 9.0) but as it was mentioned in the guide "... many binaries and other files were owned by ben," which is where I also got stuck on. It was fixed by manually changing owner on those files mentioned but I don't want to be doing this every time I build and install a package.
Any suggestions on how to fix this problem of having the incorrect owner on the libraries, binaries, etc.? I tried searching for a reason why pacman was doing this but I couldn't find a good answer (perhaps I'm only a white belt in Google-fu).
