I was attempting to install Xnviewmp (latest) edition from AUR. Everything seemed successful until it finally compressed and then when I went to install it I get the following error message. I have a Huion graphics tablet setup with my system and it seems to have a conflicting debug file? Cancelling my attempts to install Xnviewmp. . . Any idea’s or suggestions?

Have a look at the following thread and implement the suggested solution there before attempting to build and install the package again.

So what is the final solution to getting rid of the debug files? I read all of the posts and am confused as to the ‘final’ solution to fixing this yay problem if it exists there. Any idea’s or thoughts? Maybe I missing the gist of all the replies as I just scantly read all the comments. . .

You would need to edit /etc/makepkg.conf and in the line that starts with OPTIONS= change debug to !debug

The way I am reading that topic, this will prevent new debug files being created but you could leave what is already there as it is.

Thank you for your response. . . I will reattempt my installation work later today.

Everything works. . . like it was supposed to. I got Xnviewmp installed into my graphics category now and it works. (i.e. latest version). I’m now also now running KDE as a desktop instead of Cinnamon and am surprised how well it works. . . . . pretty nice.
