[SOLVED] error with makepkg - requested url returned error: 404

Hello,

I'm having trouble installing any aur packages.
I was attempting to install tor-browser. From here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tor-browser

Attempting to use makepkg inside the directory yields this error:

[archveragejoe@archveragejoe tor-browser]$ makepkg -si
==> Making package: tor-browser 11.5.7-1 (Thu 24 Nov 2022 12:27:44 PM GMT)

Attempting to install any other aur such as spotify (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/spotify) , again, produces the same error message:
[archveragejoe@archveragejoe spotify]$ makepkg -si

I am unsure what the issue is. Any help is greatly appreciated.

P.s. I do not know how to embed the code. Apologies in advance.

Thank you for the links.

I see from the comments from the aur, that some of the files cannot be located resulting in the package failing to install.
I assume given the last link, it will direct me to the relevant files to download.

Are you aware of how to fix the spotify issue?

Have you looked in http://repository.spotify.com/pool/non- … fy-client/ for the updated url?

Same thing, http://repository.spotify.com/pool/non- … fy-client/
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/spot … ent-890908

You can edit the PKGBUILDs and fix urls and checksums (or skip them, since your only way to figure them is to download the files anyway) - or wait until the AUR maintainer fixed the package.

Following the aur comments, I came to a similar conclusion.

Thank you seth and loqs
