Just updated to budgie 10.6. From the blog post in here, it seems budgie-control-center should be used from now on. Right now right clicking the dekstop > system settings doesn’t open anything. So I tried it from aur but getting this error

Will budgie-control-center be added to arch repos soon?
No one can really say with absolute certainty how soon it’ll get added to the Arch repos. Are you familiar with the process on Arch for a package to go from being in the AUR to being adopted into the main Arch repos (usually community repo)?
Here’s a link that explains it in more detail, so I’ll just summarize here:
Essentially an AUR package has to have a certain level of popularity (at least 10 votes), and be adopted by an Arch Trusted User (TU) to maintain it. If a package in the AUR doesn’t meet those requirements, then it’s inclusion to the main repos won’t happen any time soon. In the meantime, some of the devs are using EndeavourOS as their main system. I don’t know if they are very active on this forum, but I would make an bug report on the budgie-control-center GitHub and see if they can offer any assistance. The only thing I can think of at the moment is doing a clean build if you haven’t already, but I’m on Gnome, so my help is just limited to that, sorry mate!
Vote for thebudgie-control-center-git here : ( AUR )
I am not sure you should use overwrite in this situation. It will work, but now the filesystem package will probably fail to update. --overwrite isn’t something you should use blindly.
This would normally indicate an issue with the PKGBUILD - it is trying to install a file called “man” rather than files into that directory.
However, the PKGBUILD’s package() function looks very standard, so it will be an issue with the upstream source code. Very likely a recently-introduced bug?
This means there’s nothing to be done from the side of EnOS or the AUR PKGBUILD maintainer - this needs to be reported and fixed upstream.
The problem with this specific package is solved. The issue was with pkgbuild. I just installed it, replaced the gnome-control-center and solved some issues i had with that too.
Gnome Calendar is probably the only Gnome app I NEVER recommend. It’s been lackluster feature-wise and buggy and crashing/freezing for years. Use Evolution for calendar or even Thunderbird or various others are far better options, with more advanced features and stability. I last tested Gnome Calendar when Gnome 41 was released, and I got it to crash within minutes of using it, so I don’t waste my time with it. I wish that wasn’t the case, but I can’t recommend it at all.
Budgie is it’s own thing for the most part. It uses some components of Gnome, but has always had a goal to be decoupled and fully independent from Gnome. That goal is still on-going as far as I know, but development and progress is slow, but steady.
Edit:
No, Budgie doesn’t work like that, there’s no Calendar applet that reads Gnome Calendar, though it is a feature the devs want to add in future versions of Budgie.
