No, Arch uses its own package manager: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/pacman Details for the file package in Arch are here: https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/file/ The current version is 5.40-3, and Ralph is right: the current version for the same package in Manjaro (which sources packages from Arch, but releases them from its own repositories after testing) is 5.38-3. It's 6:02 am in this timezone and I definitely need sleep, but the next thing to try is to grab the 5.40 package from Arch and see what happens. - Steven -- ___________________________________________________________________________ Steven Winikoff | Montreal, QC, Canada | "If you're not part of the solution, s...@smwonline.ca | you're part of the precipitate." http://smwonline.ca | | - Steven Wright
