Any cue as to what I have to do to restore pmod?
Thanks.

? did pmod chromium work? or are you saying that you clt-c 'd it? that shouldn't be a problem..
hint: do pacman -Ss google-chrome < which will return nothing, since that package doesn't exist
(just noticed that pman -Ss is a bit broken, so don't use that)
at the moment, since error handling is deficient in pman, it'll continue even if there's no package to work with..
so.. until that's fixed, it's best to input packages that exist in the database .. ie. search (pacman -Ss) for a name first.

ok, have uploaded a quick fix for this:
pman-fix.xzm
this should:
- allow searching(-Ss)(and probably other non package fetching operations) without triggering an attempt to build a module from nothing
- allow for wrong package name input without triggering an attempt to build a module from nothing (will output: error: target not found)
still needs some redesigning for saner operation, but should work for now
oh, and i should mention the alias that uses fzf + pacman + pmod :
fzpmod which leverages fzf fuzzyfinding abilities on the package database to find(or not) what you're looking for.
and (in terminal)type
alias to see the other variations on this. (and
wtf for a bunch of other useful shell functions.
