I had pacseek installed and I keep getting an error getting it to install and run. I deleted it and installed pacseek-bin and now it works properly. Both versions were the same according to pacseek. Something in the build of just the pacseek files is amiss. Don’t know why but the .bin files works. I installed it this morning.

still the same even after cleaning the cache and trying pacseek-bin again.
With -bin you get the compiled binary and don’t need to compile yourself (as opposed to the non -bin version)
@swh Could you try the new -3 version of pacseek and see if it compiles now?
No it ends with exit status 1

Sorry @moson. Is it readable for you or do i need to set LANG=C?
Puuh, i dont know what is wrong on my end…
pacseek-bin builds well here.
Well, it’s not really building, -bin denotes a prebuilt binary package.
I should rather say it works well 
yes, I speak German
Remove pacseek-bin and pacseek-bin-debug and then install pacseek
(see Missing AUR Debug Packages *-debug for more info)
Done…
Thanky you so much 
For some reason, yay, pacseek, octopi were all broken for a while. Everyone is now working like they use too. Instead of pacseek, I’ve got pacseek-bin installed. Maybe they were all interrelated somehow. I dunno. . . but everything is doing well.

I updated and pacseek was one of the updates. I had no problem.

No matter what I do I keep getting 1.8.2-1 pushed at me.
But pacseek-bin did run? Did you tried it?
Neither runs or gives me anything other than 1.8.2-1.
If you have the Chaotic repo installed and are using an AUR helper, it’s probably just grabbing the Chaotic package every time you reinstall it.
❯ paru -Ss pacseek
aur/pacseek-git 1.8.2.238.36a078a-1 [+0 ~0.00]

chaotic-aur/pacseek 1.8.2-1 [5.48 MiB 17.05 MiB] [Installed: 1.8.2-3]

The Chaotic version is still on 1.8.2-1 as you can see.
You can specify that you want the AUR package like this:
paru -S aur/pacseek
That will put you on 1.8.2-3, which for me works normally.
Thanks worked like a charm, very much appreciated.
