This package is broken because I removed archlinux-appstream-data-pamac which was less and less useful as time goes by. Simple fix? Replace archlinux-appstream-data-pamac by archlinux-appstream-data in depends.
Could someone please add this to the other closed thread. @FredBezies asked for proof of it regularly being broken and I can’t add this to it anymore. Thanks everyone.
I’m not maintainer of this AUR package. Just put a comment on it package and it will work better if and only if the PKGBUILD is modified.
Getting broken PKGBUILD happens. If building bugs are not reported, upstream project won’t have the opportuny to fix them.
You take one of the 19 packages - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?O=0&K=pamac - (oh, a proof!) related to pamac.
And what is true for this package can be true for ANY PKGBUILD on AUR.
So, if you want to be safe, just don’t use AUR.
I tried building “pamac-flatpak-gnome” with it’s dependencies replacing archlinux-appstream-data-pamac with archlinux-appstream-data. It seems like you then run into the next dependency.
aur sync -c pamac-flatpak-gnome
==> Using [aur] repository
→ libpamac-flatpak (none) → 11.4.1-1
→ pamac-flatpak-gnome (none) → 10.4.3-1
==> Retrieving package files
Already up to date.
Already up to date.
fatal: cannot change to ‘libpamac-flatpakpkgbase’: No such file or directory
view: libpamac-flatpakpkgbase: revision HEAD not found
So it seems there are quite a few dependencies that you run into and I don’t really feel like figuring out the rest to get it working. I thought it would be forth a try to see if it would help OP get the pamac Gnome integration they want but I don’t really feel like spending more time on this, as in OP will run into the same issues if they try to build it. Unless someone here decides to sort it out and is better at explaining of how to build the correct dependencies to OP.
Not to start something up again but I did come across this reply from about a year ago.
The missing file is related to this AUR PKGBUILD: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libpamac-flatpak
So, you need to build first libpamac-flatpak and then pamac-flatpak-gnome which is outdated, libpamac is now having a 11.5.7 version.
Moreover this package was flagged as obsolete in may 2023. Looks like maintainer don’t care at all about this PKGBUILD.
I did see the dependencies but I didn’t see the one was outdated. I use aurutils to build AUR packages and it resolves the needed AUR dependencies automatically, even when trying to build them manually you end with the same problem as you said because libpamac-flatpak being outdated.
Maybe OP should look for an alternative mentioned by @dalto in the other thread from a year ago.
I have removed all the off-topic posts from this topic.
Going forward, please stay focused on helping the OP with their issue.
