I see, so pacopts asks me for my root password for certain packages and not for my user password?
yes, you need root privilegies to install packages, always...
Yes...but it is still weird, I show you what I mean:
I'm logged in as a user, I do:
Sudo pacman -S ponysay
It asks me for my user password not root password. If I didn't get the user password right, it says "Sorry, try again."
If I do
sudo pacopts aur -I brave
it says: "You must be run this options without root privilegies"
very funny sentence btw :D
if I type
pacopts aur -I brave
The machine does so many things: builds, makes, does security check, checking for package issues, compresses (takes like 5minutes) and then near the end it writes:
: : Install brave
Password:
I type in my user password, it says:
su: Authentication failure
and aborts the installation, no "Sorry try again" :/
Because in this case you have to type in the root password. I find this weird, at least it could tell me, that it needs the root password.
:) just my thoughts
