**Q: What are the minimum requirements to run this script?**
**A:** You need to have installed these dependencies: bash, binutils (provides ar utility for extracting .deb package), pkgfile, package-query (from AUR) and fakeroot. You also need an active internet connection, because debtap downloads information from internet in order to translate packages names, and also you must run at least once (preferably recently) "pkgfile -u" to create/update pkgfile database (you do this with root privileges).

**Q: During conversion I get several warning messages, why?**
**A:** Debtap cannot be 100% accurate for several reasons, the main reason for this is the complexity of packages names. If you want to check the freshly generated .PKGINFO and .INSTALL (this is optional file) metadata files or even fix the untranslated packages names inside .PKGINFO, debtap offers you the option to edit these files before compressing the final package.
