PKGBUILD Request for custom NetworkManager-openconnect

Hi Guys,
I am trying to build support for networkmanager-openconnect package with custom UserAgent support.

I have defined the PKGBUILD like this.

pkgname=networkmanager-openconnect-useragent
pkgver=1.2.7
pkgrel=1
epoch=
pkgdesc="Network Manager Openconnect with support for custom UserString"
arch=(x86_64)
url="https://gitlab.gnome.org/patradebasish1987/NetworkManager-openconnect"
license=('GPL')
groups=()
depends=()
makedepends=(git make)
checkdepends=()
optdepends=()
provides=(networkmanager-openconnect=1.2.7dev+49+gc512d5a-1)
conflicts=(networkmanager-openconnect=1.2.7dev+49+gc512d5a-1)
replaces=(networkmanager-openconnect=1.2.7dev+49+gc512d5a-1)
backup=()
options=()
install=
changelog=
source=("git+$url")
noextract=()
md5sums=(SKIP)
validpgpkeys=()

prepare() {
	cd "NetworkManager-openconnect"
}

build() {
	cd "NetworkManager-openconnect"
	./autogen.sh
	./configure --prefix=/usr
	make
}

check() {
	cd "NetworkManager-openconnect"
	make -k check
}

package() {
	cd "NetworkManager-openconnect"
	make DESTDIR="$pkgdir/" install
}

I am getting the below error even though the networkmanager-openconnect package is asked to be replaced.

❯ sudo pacman -U networkmanager-openconnect-useragent-1.2.7-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst                                                                                                                                                                                                ⏎

Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

I tried to do some research on this. But how can i ignore or possibly replace the existing files if any to install sucessfully.

Thanks in advance.

Re: PKGBUILD Request for custom NetworkManager-openconnect

First start by basing it on the networkmanager-openconnect PKGBUILD.

It should not replace anything, it's just an alternative package. Providing and conflicting with networkmanager-openconnect is enough, no version # is required.

Not a single Arch package installs anything to /usr/libexec/, you missed the --libexecdir=/usr/lib build flag. Remove whatever you installed, then try again once you've sorted the PKGBUILD.
