pacman and apt

I tried using pacman but ran into errors, Found some info here https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Switching_package_manager ... So if I'm understanding this right, I can't use both apt and pacman at the same time and have to choose which I want to use? I just noticed in #announcements that box64 was added to gpkg in pacman but isn't available in apt repo.

pacman-key --init pacman-key --populate

phoenixbyrd•10mo ago

thanks, that got me setup now without errors. Struggling installing stuff though, tried following something I found on google

pacman -Syy box64

pacman -Syy box64

but says target not found I can do all this stuff so much easier in apt but could never wrap my head around pacman ok nvm I finally figured that part out I didn't have the right package name found it with pacman -Sl so .. installed box64-glibc package but termux doesn't seem to have box64 binary

You need run grun - https://github.com/termux-pacman/glibc-packages/wiki/About-glibc-runner-(grun)

Where do I get grun? I can't find it in pacman or apt amd page seems to just talk about it's use? ok I think I got it now absolute smooth brain when it comes to this gave a whole list of already exists errors

phoenixbyrd•10mo ago

pacman -S glibc-runner

out.txt

Max Ivan•10mo ago

Seems like you didn't set pacman as default package manager, send result of command termux-info

phoenixbyrd•10mo ago

Will doing that change my current setup?

Max Ivan•10mo ago

Or just do it:

pacman -Sdd glibc-runner

pacman -Sdd glibc-runner

Max Ivan•10mo ago

Well, for this need change bootstrap and because there will be clear Termux but with pacman insted of apt. Dir home will remain Ye, i was right :/

phoenixbyrd•10mo ago

Ah ok, so if I understand right, I risk losing most of my current setup?

Max Ivan•10mo ago

It depends where configured is located. For example, zsh locates in dir home, openssl in etc dir

phoenixbyrd•10mo ago

I use my own personal setup I put together, with xfce desktop in termux and a debian proot-distro https://github.com/phoenixbyrd/Termux_XFCE

I'd rather not reinstall again if I can avoid it ... I can test this out on my son's phone maybe If he has the space available for it

Max Ivan•10mo ago

Unfortunately, in this case you will have to reinstall everything. Also, your setup.sh is configured to work only with apt, which means you need to configure it a little.

phoenixbyrd•10mo ago

Yea, the app installer I wrote is also configured with apt too.
