[SOLVED] auto-cpufreq.service fails to start after update

After recent update (2.1.0-2) auto-cpufreq stopped working

$ sudo systemctl status auto-cpufreq.service
× auto-cpufreq.service - auto-cpufreq - Automatic CPU speed & power optimizer for Linux
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/auto-cpufreq.service; enabled; preset: disabled)

$ LC_ALL=C auto-cpufreq --stats
/usr/bin/auto-cpufreq: line 22: /opt/auto-cpufreq/venv/bin/activate: No such file or directory

Restarting the service doesn't seem to help. Anyone experiencing similar issue?

Maybe there is a new turret, or some walls have moved. Or perhaps someone has temporarily removed the floor under your bed."

Have you tried reporting this to the AUR packager? Looking at the error message it looks like a packaging issue.

Re: [SOLVED] auto-cpufreq.service fails to start after update

There is some kind of bug in the AUR indeed, but uninstalling auto-cpufreq and building it again did help for now.
