@BEST8OY @SwissCat Thank you for your reply. I think let's just add this dependency for now. And I'll find a chance to ask the upstream to make this dependency optional. But in the meantime, everyone needs to build and install this new dependency. But this is still less painful than Anki's original build process, I guess.

Edit: Filed a PR that ignores missing pip_system_certs and patched in AUR. Should be good for now.

Honestly, this package is the most hassle-free installation of Anki.

The main point is that it doesn't populate system with all the necessary packages to build Anki and is fast to install.

If you don't update this package, I'm still going to use your PKGBUILD to update my Anki installation in future.

I hope you continue to maintain this package.

@escape0707 I cannot give you back passion, that his something you will have to figure out on your own, and no matter what you chose to do its gonna be fine.

But I do believe this package still has value, at least for me. The official anki packages doesn't work at all for me, It gets stuck building the whole thing and if its not that it just crashes and spits out errors. I just hate it.

This is the only package that actually worked so far.

@BEST8OY That's right. And as that package is in AUR too, I started to doubt if there is still a reason to continue maintaining this package. Also, that package does not benefit Arch or Linux users, too. Correct me if I'm wrong here.

Someone might be able to request the upstream to patch that Pull Request to ignore the ImportError if the package is not installed on the system, but I kind of lost the passion for that...

@escape0707

Could you please share a method to reproduce that error? (I was't constantly using Anki recently so I didn't tried recent versions except for whether it runs.)

  1. I'm using the kde-unstable repository.
  2. Install anki-bin with yay -S anki-bin.
  3. Run anki from the terminal.
  4. See the error.

Did you perform a system upgrade while Anki is already running and didn't rerun it so that you run into this problem?

No

What solution have you tried?

Couldn't think of anything to try other than reporting it here.

Does restarting the app or reboot your system solve it?

No. The problem persists.

That's quite possible. My system has qt 6.7.0beta1 since I'm using the kde-unstable repository.

EDIT: Additional info: I tried the anki AUR package and I still get exactly the same error.

Hi. I have already tried all those steps to no avail when I posted that comment. In the meantime I used "Anki Official Bundle" AUR package. But looks like it disappeared.

But I am happy to report that now this package, anki-bin, is working without issue. Thank you for your work!

@fmang Double-check your system package dependency.
