dummypkg

Create Dummy Packages with Pacman to bypass useless dependencies.

Originally from https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=61001 by user Themaister.

This version tries to improve a little with newer pacman.

Usage:

• dummypkg -S <package> <version> Installs a dummy package.
• dummypkg -R <package> Removes the dummy package.
• dummypkg -l Lists all dummy packages installed.
• dummypkg -h Shows the help page.

dummypkg requires access to a privilege-escalation mechanism. It automatically detects sudo, doas, run0, or su. At least one must be available and configured.
