hi, i am having a problem to install parsec-bin, seems to be an issue with the sha256sums, i can install it by running:

yay -S --mflags --skipinteg parsec-bin

but is this secure ? maybe installing it with flatpak would be a better option ?

The sha256sum listed in the package built doesn’t match the current sha256sum so that’s probably why it’s failing. Once yay clones the repo you can probably update the PKGBUILD with the new sha256sum of the new debian package and it will work.

I tried it myself and it builds correctly after you update the sha256sum to the new one of the new package. The new correct sha256sum is this.

Download the PKGBUILD for parsec-bin in some directory.

Open a terminal in that directory and run:

updpkgsums

This would download the latest .deb file from which the package is built and update the sha256sum in the PKGBUILD file accordingly.

then run:

makepkg -si

to build and install the package.

/home/ramon/.cache/yay/parsec-bin/
