Re install of mullvad-vpn-bin gives an error

It looks like to me that something is saying the package is already downloaded, but it can t find it. Maybe I did not completely remove mullvad before trying to re install it. Not sure.

$ yay -S mullvad-vpn-bin

This first question:

Answer A for all.

I still get the same error when using a. I used locate, and removed all mentions of mullvad. Still no luck.

Mullvad 2025-06 was depublished by the developers, cause of issues. They say you should use the beta or an older version for now. Had similar problems a few days ago, don’t know if they already fixed it. Be careful, when looking this up, there’re plenty of fake mullvad websites flooding the search engines atm.

The not offical AUR package is outdated atm and points to a release that isn’t existing anymore.

I installed mullvad-vpn-beta-bin sucessfully from aur.

Seems to working fine.

Yes that’s what I did, too.

Alternatively you could copy the pkgbuild from the AUR edit it to point to the old version of the deb package, correct the checksums and install it as your own package.
