How To Fix paco2porg: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu paco2porg is provided by porg package.

porg is:

Porg (formerly known as paco), is a program to aid management of software packages installed from source code.

After the installation of such packages, one is usually left with having no idea of what it was installed and where it all went, making it difficult to uninstall the package in the future. Porg was written to solve this problem in a quite simple fashion.

When installing a package from sources, porg wraps the install command (e.g. “make install”), and saves installation information into a its own flat-file text database.

This package is a complete replacement for the deprecated ‘paco’ package.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install porg

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

You can also use apt command to install porg.

sudo apt -y install porg

sudo aptitude install porg
