Hi,
I suddendly discovered bacman was removed for a long time and fakepkg is encouraged as an alternative.
However, after installing the package from AUR, typing fakepkg WHATEVER-PACKAGE-NAME does not work: it always tells me

The following package(s) could not be found on your system: "WHATEVER-PACKAGE-NAME"
Keep in mind that the package(s) have to be installed!

Are there any hidden steps?
