Timeshift weirdness (package from AUR)

Hi,

I’ve had some weirdness with timeshift today. The update (yay -Syu) wouldn’t go through with this message:

Translates to:

ERROR: /home/dromundkaas/.cache/yay/timeshift/timeshift is not a clone of https://github.com/linuxmint/timeshift.git

I re-downloaded the application sources, and the build went through, although that message concerns me. Would that possibly point to a drive-by-download, having bad sources from somewhere?

Other than that, since the upgrade Timeshift lost a functionality. Usually it would display the size of a snapshot, enabling me to judge if I could maybe drop a snapshot to free snapshots on the larger size. But the column with the snapshot size disappeared, and is now just missing:

Anybody else have some strangeness with the Timeshift AUR package?

Did you try the suggestions mentioned inside the AUR package page comments? For example deleting the cache directory that is mentioned inside the error message.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/timeshift

No, the upstream repository changed:

https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=timeshift&id=11d4d9b594e767c6cc4392f8d975753619163e7a

Thank you, that is a great information.

Cheers.
