DetailsI have found that with an up-to-date system (Pacman v5.0.1 and libalpm v10.0.1) pacman does not recognise the '-c' option nor the '--changelog' one which are documented in the manpage. I am just presented with an error such as this one:
error: invalid option '--changelog' This is rather annoying. |
This task depends upon
pacman -c firefox
And:
pacman --changelog firefox
But none seem to work, am I doing something wrong?
QUERY OPTIONS (APPLY TO -Q)
-c, --changelog
View the ChangeLog of a package if it exists.
So "pacman -Qc firefox". But almost no packages have changelogs on any distribution using pacman.
