*-debug package conflict on system update

I’m sorry if this is the wrong category I’m posting.
I couldn’t find anything about this issue on related packages’ AUR sites or forums. Similar ones were related to manual package installs (without yay/pacman) or drive failures.

The usual full system update failed with the following:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
insomnia-bin-debug: /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/73/2e24a29d582f7bc4cea91594e5705a473fc762 exists in filesystem (owned by slack-desktop-debug)
insomnia-bin-debug: /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/73/2e24a29d582f7bc4cea91594e5705a473fc762.debug exists in filesystem (owned by slack-desktop-debug)

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

While upgrading the packages, 3 of the packages also tried to install their *-debug packages. namely;

  1. bruno-bin-debug (while installing the bruno-bin package)
  2. slack-desktop-debug (from slack-desktop)
  3. insomnia-bin-debug (from insomnia-bin)

I have uninstalled bruno-bin and insomnia-bin packages, did a full system update, and tried to reinstall insomnia-bin. The message above is from that effort.
The three packages have one thing in common: they are all electron apps.
Related to that, in the middle of the full system update, I uninstalled the electron24 package because fetching the git repo was taking a really long time. I then installed the electron24-bin package. I’m afraid I might have caused it myself, but I also don’t know what I need to do to fix it.

That looks like a packaging issue. What repo are you getting those packages from?

all from AUR I think;

❯ yay -Ss bruno-bin && yay -Ss slack-desktop && yay -Ss insomnia-bin
aur/bruno-bin 1.8.0-1 (+11 2.20)
    Opensource API Client for Exploring and Testing APIs
aur/slack-desktop-black-theme-night-mood 4.25.0-1 (+1 0.00) (Out-of-date: 2022-11-18)
    Slack Desktop (Beta) for Linux, with black theme night mood patch
aur/slack-desktop-wayland 4.36.134-3 (+1 1.00) (Out-of-date: 2024-02-01)
    Slack Desktop (Beta) for Linux with Wayland Support
aur/slack-desktop 4.36.140-1 (+597 6.45) (Installed)
    Slack Desktop (Beta) for Linux
aur/insomnia-bin 1:8.6.1-1 (+153 0.73)
    API Client and Design Platform for GraphQL and REST

As you can see from your output, those debug packages aren’t in AUR.

Can you share the full output from yay -S insomnia-bin

Here is the full output

Where is this coming from?

When I use yay to install the same package from AUR, I do not get this output.

Also, the PKGBUILD doesn’t seem to reflect that this should be getting created.

This is quite interesting, it is still trying to install the insomnia-bin-debug package

Out of curiosity, what does: cat PKGBUILD show?

I see. It is probably because you enabled debugging in /etc/makepkg.conf

Edit /edit/makepkg.conf, find the line that starts with OPTIONS= and change debug to !debug

Then when yay asks you, tell it to clean build.

It worked like a charm. Thanks a lot!

I’m curious though, I haven’t manually changed the settings. Is it possible that some other program changed the setting?

Anything is possible. Although, in general, if you have a program that is changing your makepkg.conf settings without your knowledge that would be concerning.

Is it possible you ran a script that changed it at one point?

I doubt it. I did not run any scripts that messed with the system configuration in general. I almost exclusively use yay to install packages, and if I have to use a manual script, I check the contents to make sure that it’s not doing anything “extra”.

Is it possible for a package that I downloaded from the AUR repo to modify the configuration? I’m not very knowledgeable about the package build process.

It is theoretically possible, but an AUR package should never do that and any package that did would likely get removed or modified pretty quick. I have also never seen one that did anything like that.

I see. It’s more likely that I did something that affected my makepkg config. Thanks for your help; I now know a little more about where I should look if something similar happens. I appreciate it.

No, some options are enabled by default when installing the latest version of EOS. This is pacman
