'Cannot find these packages: xorg-mkfontdir': add_fatal in /usr/share/cnchi/src/misc/events.py:83

Problem:
Cnchi fails to install as it cannot find the package 'xorg-mkfontdir'. Assuming this is because the package was renamed to xorg-mkfontscale today.

Steps To Reproduce:

  1. Try to install with any options (or at least I can confirm it happens with all options set to default)
  2. Cnchi will throw an error while checking for package availability.

Should be able to remedy this by referencing xorg-mkfontscale instead.

Same issue over here. Thanks for taking it so fast @karasu 🙂

Same issue here, cannot proceed to installation because of this error...

Can also confirm.

I can also confirm, I hope this will be fixed soon

I can also confirm this.

Fixed in antergos-common-meta package. It will take a bit to the mirrors to update. Meanwhile you can use the above workaround.

Still not working here, and workaround also seems to not work. I delete the line with xorg-mkfontdir, do 'cnchi -p /usr/shar/cnchi/data/packages.xml', but it still throws same error?

My mistake, you have to run cnchi first before applying the workaround

I would like to confirm the problem still persists without applying the workaround.

still not solved as i can see on testing it in a VM (EFI boot)

Wow, i was going MAD over this.. It still is not working, hope the workaround helps me, will report back..

Was still broke for me last night I will try when I get home to get this working.

I cannot remember an Antergos install that worked out of the box. But I hope it gets fixed soon.

Yes and if I wasn' t so lazy I would install arch from scratch. I hate manjaro as well. Antergos has everything right except this install script. What is it gonna take to get it right.

Had the same issue yesterday, trying to install Antergos on my PC.

A month back or so it worked flawless on my Laptop, keep up the good work and thank you!

Had the same issue right now, so I can confirm. The workaround above worked, though

i was wondering why it do not work, as cnchi should read the file (packages.xml) directly from github, and the file on github is fixed:
