This happens with every version of pamac in the AUR

Weird… i never seem to have that issue. I just install yay -S pamac and then select 2 (git version)

Error making: pamac-aur

@FredBezies
Is the expert on that pkg. Maybe he knows what’s going on with it as he watches it quite closely.

Edit: It looks like it’s having an issue building it.

8

Try updating the mirrors list with the eos-welcome app and then run sudo pacman -Syyu
After this try installing it again with yay

9

I am away now. I am going to try this when i get home in the evening. In the meantime i am welcome to see any other suggestions

Vala 0.48.0 is breaking pamac-aur-git / pamac-aur build process:

You’ll have to wait until a fix is released :frowning:

I dont mind waiting if this is the issue. I was afraid that is my fault

12

Both pamac-aur and pamac-aur-git are broken with vala 0.48.0 upgrade.

Let’s hope Guinux will fix this issue soon :slight_smile:

13

Hi!
Please use LANC=C or LANG=en_US prefix when you send command output here. e.g.

    LANG=C yay -S pamac

It shows all text in English, and help us help you. :slight_smile:

hello,it is necessary downgrade vala and after installing pamac-aur

15

How to do that. By the way its a fresh install

16

Package downgrade can do that:

   sudo pacman -S downgrade
   downgrade vala

But I haven’t tried it on this package…

Phiip Muller set vala<0.47 in pamac PKGBUILD until code is fixed.

After the update that i just did, the pamac-aur-git installed fine. I dont know why. :smile:

Well, answer is simple:

You can now build pamac-aur against vala 0.48 :slight_smile:

If you don’t mind a little “ad”:

< ad >
I’ve made a small public repo named m-more that includes both pamac-aur and pamac-aur-git as pre-built AUR packages.

The instructions of how to use the repo is here: https://github.com/manuel-192/m-repo-info
And here’s a short description of the repo contents: https://github.com/manuel-192/m-more

Please note that this repo is not an official EndeavourOS repo, I’ve created it because (at least) I use it.
