I get a pop-up with the following: Can't open x86_64/release/libfm-qt/libfm-qt5-common/libfm-qt5-common-0.11.1-1.tar.xz for reading: Unknown filename This appears to be what is keeping nc and nc6 from installing properly. There are lots of .xz files in the release, so perhaps the problem is the file name is too long? Is there some way I can work around this?
