Also .deb files just install on Arch, no? (been a long time since I had
one.)
No, Arch uses its own package manager:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/pacman
Details for the file package in Arch are here:
https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/file/
The current version is 5.40-3, and Ralph is right: the current version
for the same package in Manjaro (which sources packages from Arch, but
releases them from its own repositories after testing) is 5.38-3.
It's 6:02 am in this timezone and I definitely need sleep, but the next
thing to try is to grab the 5.40 package from Arch and see what happens.
