[SOLVED] Yaourt installs package, but yay complains about checksum

gunjah292 · 2019-05-31 18:49:38

I just made a new package for AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/plecs-blockset/. Yaourt installs it without errors, but yay complains about a wrong checksum and throws a download error. I checked the checksums multiple times.

We don't really care about what either of those say. What does makepkg say? Post the actual output, not paraphrasing.

Have you read yay's readme or the thread on these forums by yay's maintainer?

gunjah292 · 2019-05-31 19:18:27

Everything seems to work right. Or what else do you mean by "What does makepkg say?". This is the first package I contributed to AUR.

$ makepkg --printsrcinfo > .SRCINFO 
$ git add -f -A

@Trilby: No, I didn't but there doesn't seem to be anything written about my problem.

I built the package based on https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/plecs-standalone, which does compile with yay. I really don't see why one AUR helper would take the checksum and the other wouldn't. I realized that the checksum differ if I generate them in /tmp/yaourt-tmp or in the Download folder. I don't understand why, because it is the same file.

He means precisely that: what is the output of makepkg when building that package? Provide the full output in code tags. Most notably, we'd want to know if makepkg rejects the checksum.

My links are relevant as it sounds like this is a problem with yay. So you should be reporting this on the yay github page, not here.

Niether do we, precisely, but the answer is clearly that one of them is broken. Don't use either of them and the problem is solved.

Keep in mind also that we have no idea what is in your "/tmp/yaourt-tmp" or your "Downloads" folders. Show exactly what commands you used that resulted in the different checksums in these two places, and we could likely spot the problem.

	cp "$srcdir/plecs/." "$pkgdir/opt/plecs-blockset" -r 
}

I realized that when you directly download the file via a browser, the size of the file is 396.1 MB and its checksum is

$ sha1sum /home/jan/Downloads/plecs-blockset-4-2-6_linux64.tar.gz 
0820a419091e73bbd37e0e74517b48afc8315ad4  /home/jan/Downloads/plecs-blockset-4-2-6_linux64.tar.gz

When I use this checksum in the PKGBUILD, the output of makepkg is

Passes obviously and the application runs without errors, even though the file size is just half of the size it should be. Yaourt installs and yay doesn't. This is all really weird to me...

You are giving us incomplete and contradictory information.

Are you using the file you manually downloaded via your browser on some of these attempts? With each tool, makepkg, yaourt, or yay, which ones work when you don't have some file with that name already in the working directory?

All you've really shown us so far is that some file downloaded somehow from some web browser is not correct. This has nothing to do with your initial reported problem.

gunjah292 · 2019-05-31 20:21:44

Sorry, if I have not been clear enough.

I am using the one downloaded by yay, of course.

work: makepkg, yaourt
doesn't: yay

Actually, you are right. I've downloaded the same file with Firefox and the size is 189.7 MB. This was a Chrome related problem.

Still yay doesn't take the checksum (or the right file of 189.7 MB).

Found the problem. Yay did not download the new PKGBUILD, but used the old one from cache. yay -Scc solved the problem.

Alad · 2019-05-31 20:45:05

If you want helpers to pick up changes, you should bump pkgrel. However, if the change does not influence the built package, it's perfectly fine to not bump the pkgrel.
