Ran updates today. The update for brscan4 from AUR gave this error message:

I also tried doing a clean build and get the same error. Tried updating with eos-updateandyay. What manual intervention is needed?

That is an issue with the AUR package.

You can either wait for the maintainer to fix it or manually update the checksums.

You are not alone in getting this error:

You might try the manual approach @dalto noted. If it’s just a checksum issue, it shouldn’t be too complicated.

yay -G brscan4
cd brscan4
updpkgsums
makepkg -fsri

When I ran the update this morning the issue was fixed by the maintainer. @Bink I will try your suggestion in the future if needed. Thanks all!

That’s what I was looking for – the most painless way to upgrade checksums in an outdated AUR package.
