aurutils - helper tools for the aur

Alad · 2024-04-16 18:47:52

For me all the checksum tests fail as well when building in a chroot, with both aur sync -c and extra-x86_64-build.

With a PKGBUILD of this complexity it's hard to tell what's going on. Maybe the maintainer can help, especially since it fails with devtools alone as well.

The PKGBUILD was updated now, the checksums should fit again.

How do you reliably rebuild a python package?
I noticed that a script of mine using getmail6 failed after my last system upgrade, presumably due to a python upgrade from 3.11 to 3.12.

Previously with yay, I would invoke 'yay -S --rebuildall --noconfirm $(yay -Qqo /usr/lib/python<previous-version>/)', which would rebuild affected packages using the new python version.

For aurutils, I tried this suggestion, but this did only re-install the package, without the additional 'setup.py' step which happens if you do a clean install of the package.

I got the package to work again by uninstalling, calling 'aur remove' (using the script from the man page) and reinstalling.
Is there a shorthand for this, or did I just do something wrong in the previous step?

There is script in examples "sync-rebuild" you can use (modify it if you need and put it as 'aur-sync-rebuild' in you PATH). you can pass the "pacman -Qqo ..." output to it.

Thanks, I always forget to look inside /usr/share/doc...

Also see the documentation in https://github.com/aurutils/aurutils/tr … nc-rebuild

Starting today, I get the following error while running 'aur sync -u':

curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 502

It was still fine yesterday. Did I miss anything?
Edit: Nevermind, it was a temporary server issue.

Aurutils used to fetch updates to packages whenever doing the command

aur sync -u

but it stopped working for some reason. I know this because when doing the command

aur repo -d repo --list | aur vercmp

it shows there are newer versions available. Manually syncing each package performs the upgrade successfully. Not sure what I did, but I checked to make sure I was not excluding packages from upgrade. Any idea what I did?

I don't have much information to go from here. Make sure you use 19.8 in any case, there's been some bugs in previous releases.

I've been using aurutils for several years without issue, however, recently I've encountered some trouble to install packages. When I install a package from the AUR, neofetch for example, by running:

aur sync -c neofetch

the package files are retrieved successfully. Immediately after the package begins to install I receive this error:

==> ERROR: chroot '/var/lib/aurbuild/x86_64/root' is not at version v6. Please rebuild.

I tried running

aur chroot -U

and received the same error message. I tried searching google, the wiki, and the forums without much luck. I can't figure out what changed or how to fix this, any thoughts / recommendations would be much appreciated!

astralc · 2025-07-08 07:57:39

Remove '/var/lib/aurbuild/x86_64/root' and recreate it with 'aur chroot --create`

bgdawes · 2025-07-09 02:33:38

Thanks so much for your help, that worked! Unfortunately, now I have another problem. Using my same example to install neofetch, I'm returning another error:

error: config file /etc/pacman.d/aurpkgs could not be read: No such file or directory

I don't understand this error because the file /etc/pacman.d/aurpkgs absolutely is there, picture below. I tried changing the file permissions from root to my user and that didn't work so I changed it back to root. Any additional thoughts would certainly be appreciated.

aurpkgs .

astralc · 2025-07-09 09:00:40

hmm... maybe the chroot not include the file? it special for your config. (as it is not not pacman.conf or mirrorlist)

bgdawes · 2025-07-10 02:38:30

Once again, you've been an incredible help!! Your suggestion was spot-on, you were exactly right. I copied the file to chroot and now everything works perfectly. Thanks again astralc, sincerely. I really appreciate your help!

Apologies in advance - this is almost certainly user error, however, I've been having trouble installing packages with aurutils. I've been failing to install dependencies during:

aur sync -c

When I try to install proton-ge-custom-bin I hit the following:

I could be going crazy (and that's very likely) but I'm sure I never ran into this error before, i.e. installing make dependencies (or any dependencies) never was an issue before?

Any thoughts would sincerely be appreciated!

You need to enable the [multilib] repository.

Thank you so much!

I feel so completely stupid that I missed this but thanks all the same.
