settings-symbolic.svg for Cozy-audiobooks:

Not an ideal test for my human eye, but it looks like the exact same icon to me. The file sizes are different, so I guess that Extension-Manager might need to change their settings-smybolic.svg to something else to not conflict with the Cozy one ?

That is a problem that one of the application developers/AUR maintainers will need to fix.

In the short term, you can work around it in a few ways off the top of my head:

  • Add --overwrite usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/actions/settings-symbolic.svg to your yay/paru command.
  • Use the flatpak of cozybooks
  • Modify one of the PKGBUILDs to remove that icon before installing.

Personally, I would either overwrite it or switch to the flatpak of cozybooks.

Thank you, those are all good temporary solutions to take in the meantime. If/when the extension-manager dev addresses the issue, I can update the post. Seems like it’d be a simple enough fix for the devs to do so might get lucky and get an updated fix soon.

I don’t know why, but I’m trying to attempt a flatpak free Arch experience. Nothing against flatpak, I’ve used it in the past a lot and do prefer it over other packaging formats, but since nearly everything* is available in Arch/AUR, I’ve been using those in my quest to keep learning more. And overall, I find I learn more with some of the AUR packages than I would with a flatpak. Like I said, I’ve got nothing against flatpak, I’m just doing like an experiment using only Arch/AUR packages if that makes any sense.

@ricklinux Thanks for your testing and remember not to drink maple syrup near your keyboard :wink:

In the meantime, you can always just use --overwrite as described above.

You could report this problem to one or both of the devs of these apps on their AUR page, like @dalto seemingly implied.

@manuel don’t worry it was the first thing I did :wink: :+1:
