Start by finding where the program files are stored on your hard drive. The first step in removing a VPN is to clear away its client. Download the plain text (which I gave in the links above) to PKGBUILD or adjust manually to your needs, so that makepkg knows what to do.Īfterwards, run your next couple of upgrades with -ignore vpn-slice or add IgnorePkg = vpn-slice to /etc/nf until a fix is ready or you have more time to investigate.(Image credit: Microsoft) Uninstall VPN clients To find those links, you can browse this page: "View Changes" in the top right box "Package Actions", then click on some commit and then "PKGBUILD" to see, well, the PKGBUILD instructions. To got to 0.11-2, replace the URI by (and mind the quotes). Otherwise, create some empty directory, download there and name it PKGBUILD, enter the directory and run makepkg -i. find ~/.cache /var/cache -type f -name 'vpn-slice-0.1*' 2>&. E.g., pikaur has its cache under ~/.cache/pikaur/pkg by default. No offense: we've all been there (or at least, I was, for sure).įirst of all, check whether your package manager (I assume you use one?) keeps a cache. Not sure if that's bad or good given that AUR packages are really not supposed to be used without knowledge about reading and checking PKGBUILDs, and that typically comes with the necessary knowledge to dig out the previous version. Indeed, that seems one of the less-lit places documentation-wise, at least I couldn't find a step-by-step walk-through within two minutes of searching. (edited on 05:46 (UTC) by Concerning downgrading, here's a summary. If you add the entry there, pacman will ask for explicit confirmation on any change of the ignored package, so unless you deliberately ignore the warnings, you should not get any nasty surprises. Not sure about pamac, but I assume it does acknowledge nf, at least. Most pacman helpers respect it (pacaur certainly does). Prohibit further updates: That's what the -ignore flag or the IgnorePkg entry in nf is about. This will show you what's going to happen and ask for confirmation as usual - e.g., it will ask whether you really want to downgrade vpn-slice from 0.14.1-1 to 0.11-1. The -i (aka -install) just runs pacman after a successful build (i.e., it calls pacman -U ). It will not change anything on your system, unless you add -i. Makepkg only builds the package, no need no uninstall anything before doing so. grep -C 3 vpn-slice /var/log/pacman.log should give you a hint what version you had installed before the package broke for you (look at the timestamps).
