[SOLVED] Quickshell updates

I just did a system update and because I watch the output noticed this

[2026-08-20T10:31:01+0200] [ALPM] running 'quickshell-check.hook'...
[2026-08-20T10:31:01+0200] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] /usr/bin/quickshell: symbol lookup error: /usr/bin/quickshell: undefined symbol: _ZN23QUntypedPropertyBindingC1EP23QPropertyBindingPrivate, version Qt_6_PRIVATE_API
[2026-08-20T10:31:01+0200] [ALPM] running 'update-desktop-database.hook'...

So I rebuilt quickshell-git for the new libraries and all is well, my question is, should I have an automated way to do this or is it quite normal to need to manually rebuild the AUR package when the libraries are updated?

Re: [SOLVED] Quickshell updates

yes that's normal. for repo packages arch devs do that, for aur packages you have to do that yourself.

We even have https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_U … g_packages that clarifies that.

The rebuild-detector it mentions is very useful to be alerted when you need to rebuild something.

example : boost was upgraded from 1.91 to 1.92 this morning and rebuild-detector told me I had to update one of my aur programs that depends on boost-libs .

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Re: [SOLVED] Quickshell updates

Perfect, thank you. I won't install another package to check, it is good to keep an eye on it anyway.

Edit. I have installed the rebuildcheck and it flagged another package (python-ttkthemes) so thank you.
