Common Issues - Read before reporting

Processing ./bazel-bin/qt/aqt/aqt-2.1.48-py3-none-any.whl
ERROR: Cannot install aqt 2.1.47 (from /var/cache/yay/anki-git/src/anki-git/bazel-bin/qt/aqt/aqt-2.1.47-py3-none-any.whl) and aqt 2.1.48 (from /var/cache/yay/anki-git/src/anki-git/bazel-bin/qt/aqt/aqt-2.1.48-py3-none-any.whl) because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.

Try deleting ~/.cache/bazel

If someone can provide a fix for those issues for the PKGBUILD I'd be thankful, but in the meantime I add this as FAQ.

@homocomputeris Just changing the dependencies to qt6 won't work, since I still will have the qt5 dependencies installed. Not sure how to make anki pick qt6.

@DarkShadow44

UPD: Seems that copypaste from/to Anki Qt6 doesn't work.

There is a Qt6 PKGBUILD (with other minor fixes too) in the comments below, which is basically changing qt5 to qt6 counterparts.

It seems that Anki doesn't depend on Java explicitly, because it was replaced by Rust.

Sorry, I did flag this because back then it didn't build even with the bazel cache removed, so it seemed that something had changed on the build process side.

@homocomputeris Sure, how do you configure the build for qt6?

Also, please don't flag the package out of date for something addressed as pinned issue.

I suggest switching it to Qt6 since 2.1.50 https://github.com/ankitects/anki/releases/tag/2.1.50

Qt6

The packaged builds now come in separate Qt5 and Qt6 versions. Each version
has some advantages and disadvantages.

The Qt6 version is built with a more recent graphics toolkit. Advantages
include:

    Various bugfixes.
    Native support for recent Apple Silicon Macs (faster, better battery life).
    Compatibility with recent glibc versions on Linux (fixes blank screens).
    Better HiDPI support on Linux.

Just got the following error

If you happen to get the same, try removing ~/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/jinja2

No problem, thanks for the update! That workaround indeed also does the job (after said deletion of bazel's cache).

Sorry, I didn't realize I forgot to push the update. Something must went wrong.

Please try again, after deleting the bazel cache.

Seems to be from the recent glibc updates, during which libcrypt.so.1 was removed: https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/commit/f1aeeaf4a3fabd9b5f8186005066e04f1aa7c672

Curious that it's still working for you. Anyway, there's libxcrypt-compat in the AUR that brings that library version back.

Already done that. The error message is how that's failing.

Seems it's now trying to use its bundled python, which is built with an old libxcrypt, for whatever reason.

If it's building for you, could you please check if there's a /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.1 present on your system?

Can you please test the latest update? You might need to delete "~/.cache/bazel/" though!

Can't seem to build this since the changes of last week, now it instantly fails with

Error in fail: rules_python failed: (/{home}/.cache/bazel/_bazel_{…}/{hex}/external/python/python: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

There's an outdated libxcrypt-compat in the AUR for that library, but this had never been an issue / required before. So probably not an issue with the PKGBUILD, either.

BTW, Anki moved to QT6 for active development in .50, it's mostly the same packages, just incremented.

@greve Thanks for the notify, updated again.

error in build():

==> Starting build()...
/home/nico/.cache/yay/anki-git/PKGBUILD: line 101: ./scripts/build: No such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...

@homocomputeris Thanks, pushed an update.

Doesn't build anymore:

package()...
WARNING: Requirement 'bazel-bin/pylib/anki/anki-*.whl' looks like a filename, but the file does not exist
ERROR: anki-*.whl is not a valid wheel filename.

@magnus-tesshu I don't know when or why it happens, I had it the last time I built it...

By the way DarkShadow, is bazel breaking the build still known to be an issue? It could almost certainly be resolved by setting one of XDG_CACHE_HOME or HOME environment variables in the PKGBUILD to /tmp/something.

If the issue doesn't happen consistently, it's best not to do that I think. It builds fine for me.

@magnus-tesshu Try this:

@homocomputeris how would one go about doing that?

It can be successfully built with Qt6 now.

Thanks, put the patch in!

It's just two lines, you can probably manually do it; add a makedepend for jre11-openjdk and export JAVA_HOME before running the build

I'll take over maintenance. But please report any issues you have in the comments!

I orphaned this package, since I've got not time and don't use anki anymore.

There is an error with the latest commit.

I had a similar problem to ivs_er's. During the bazel stage, my build kept failing with the following error:

FATAL: bazel crashed due to an internal error. Printing stack trace:

I have both jdk-openjdk (17.u35-1) and jdk11-openjdk (11.0.12.u7-1) installed. archlinux-java status indicates that java-17-openjdk from that first package is set as the default. I was able to fix the build problem by temporarily switching over to JDK11, using archlinux-java set java-11-openjdk.

(It seems this is not the only package suffering from this problem; I've had a similar problem with the same solution upon installing shattered-pixel-dungeon from the AUR, which needs to be compiled with java. I suppose with any java pkgbuilds just try switching your default JDK version and you'll likely fix the problem.)

Bazel needs java.

But using java 17 I have javac.

Package broken. First it requires javac to build, which is not present in current versions of java. After setting the version of java manually so that javac is on PATH it then says:

ERROR: anki-2.1.49-cp39-abi3-manylinux_2_28_x86_64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

2021-09-02 10:57 Solved by removing jdk 16 and letting yay install jdk 11.

OK, @DarkShadow44 's way worked. Removing ~/.cache/bezel fixed it.

@ghorshy Just remove the old anki versions. Maybe the anki developers need to fix something.

Tried to update anki for few days but this error comes up:

ERROR: Cannot install anki 2.1.46 (from /home/manjaro/.cache/yay/anki-git/src/anki-git/bazel-bin/pylib/anki/anki-2.1.46-cp38-abi3-manylinux2014_x86_64.whl) and anki 2.1.47 (from /home/manjaro/.cache/yay/anki-git/src/anki-git/bazel-bin/pylib/anki/anki-2.1.47-cp38-abi3-manylinux2014_x86_64.whl) because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.

The conflict is caused by:
    The user requested anki 2.1.46 (from /home/manjaro/.cache/yay/anki-git/src/anki-git/bazel-bin/pylib/anki/anki-2.1.46-cp38-abi3-manylinux2014_x86_64.whl)

I tried to -Rns in yay but now I can't install this package at all.

@ivs_er If it's new, please open an issue ticket.

Or you need maybe java 16?

@DarkShadow44 Yes, exactly, I thought the version variable would be useless and the aur helper would anyway generate the correct version, instead of showing you the static version.

Yes, now it doesn't show it as changed. But you went back to the old versioning scheme, right?

@DarkShadow44 Hmmm, i thought the default pkgver variable is useless, if I use the pgkver() function. Does it work now?

Sorry, I don't really understand how the helper(s) do that. I just know that yay isn't the only one to flag anki-git as changed, despite it not being changed.

@DarkShadow44 I just switched the dummy version of this package to the real anki version to not get confused with package updates.

But the real version of this package should be generated by the "pkgver()" function in the PKGBUILD and be used by your AUR helper.

Or did I read the wiki wrong? VCS_package_guidelines#The_pkgver()_function

Hey, stupid question, but yay always shows this package as changed: r8319.ab20f215b-1 -> 2.1.47-1 Any idea why that is? It used to work before.

@DarkShadow44 you're welcome :)

Probably a basel bug not removing the old version, since it's both aqt, just with different minor versions. O.o

Thanks! Just a small heads up, I got a strange issue when building, like

Processing ./bazel-bin/qt/aqt/aqt-2.1.48-py3-none-any.whl
ERROR: Cannot install aqt 2.1.47 (from /var/cache/yay/anki-git/src/anki-git/bazel-bin/qt/aqt/aqt-2.1.47-py3-none-any.whl) and aqt 2.1.48 (from /var/cache/yay/anki-git/src/anki-git/bazel-bin/qt/aqt/aqt-2.1.48-py3-none-any.whl) because these package versions have conflicting dependencies.

I solved it by deleting ~/.cache/bazel

Just in case someone has the same problem...

@DarkShadow44 Thank you I must be blind

I updated the package now, thank you :)

Yes, it crashes on startup with this log:

  File "/usr/bin/anki", line 16, in <module>
    import aqt
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/aqt/__init__.py", line 18, in <module>

    from anki._legacy import DeprecatedNamesMixin, deprecated

That got introduced in commit 0ddd316388 (2021-06-26). It compiles fine btw, just running won't work.

Please explain why you flag a git aur package as "out of date", since it uses pkgver() to dynamical calculate its version number.

@DarkShadow44 are you sure? I don't find this change in the source code and last time i was able to compile it without this dependency. (Currently I'm in holidays for 2 weeks with 1mbit internet and can't test it without running in a timeout while fetching the dependencies)

Since the latest update(s), this depends on python-stringcase.

Package is probably broken until this gets fixed: https://github.com/ankitects/anki/issues/1338

Ah, fixed by removing the folder ~/.local/lib/python3.9/ Dunno why it was corrupted at my site.

Perfect. I recommend to remove python2 from your system.

Thanks. The issue for me was that pip was pointing to python 2.7 pip instead of the new one. python2 -m pip uninstall pip and then reinstalling python-pip package fixed the issue.

@matejdro It builds here without this error. I think a python 2.7 package is hiding on your system and wants to survive. :P Or something you installed with pip systemwide.

But I get a different compile issue https://github.com/ankitects/anki/issues/1338

I'm getting this when I attempt to build. Any ideas?

DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 reached the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 is no longer maintained. pip 21.0 will drop support for Python 2.7 in January 2021. More details about Python 2 support in pip can be found at https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/development/release-process/#python-2-support pip 21.0 will remove support for this functionality.
ERROR: anki-2.1.47-cp38-abi3-manylinux2014_x86_64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

It is weird that there is a warning message about Python 2.7 there because I have Python 3.9.6 installed.

@MarkWalters.pw - I also get the conflicting dependencies and it turns out you don't need to rm -rf ~/.cache/bazel. Just deleting the older files is enough. In my case (slightly newer conflicts), simply the following:

rm ~/.cache/yay/anki-git/src/anki-git/bazel-bin/pylib/anki/anki-2.1.43-cp38-abi3-manylinux2014_x86_64.whl
rm ~/.cache/yay/anki-git/src/anki-git/bazel-bin/qt/aqt/aqt-2.1.43-py3-none-any.whl

I've found a problem where anki doesn't show the menu in it's top bar (the one with Decks/Add/Browse). You can work around that by Tools->Preferences->Video Driver: OpenGL.

@homocomputeris

I can't reproduce it. It works here.

Is there any package missing in the dependencies which isn't installed on your system? https://github.com/ankitects/anki/blob/main/docs/development.md

Fails to build:

build()...
FATAL: Could not find system javabase. Ensure JAVA_HOME is set, or javac is on your PATH.

because

(Arch does not use JAVA_HOME, it uses archlinux-java to set the /usr/bin/java symlink).

Just a FYI, in case anyone else gets this problem. ERROR: Cannot install aqt 2.1.41 (<snip>) and aqt 2.1.43 (<snip>) because these package versions have conflicting dependencies. Tried manual makepkg and removed aqt-2.1.41-py3-none-any.whl in src after a failed build. Same problem. Then tried the dreaded rm -rf ~/.cache/bazel so it would redownload all 3.6G worth of the redundant build files. Which allowed it to install. Then when I run anki I got: Qt warning: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "xcb" in "" That error was fixed with a pacman -Syyu https://pastebin.com/C8cPhnV5

@lmat that looks like a download error Maybe your internet or their download server has a bug.

Fails to fetch pyqt5 with the following error: https://paste.rs/VnP

I have python-pyqt5 installed, but it looks like bezel wants its own copy?

You're welcome. :)

Great! Thanks for maintaining the package :-)

@Rumpelstilzchen Thank you :) I hope it is now fixed for everyone! :D

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the paths of the three install commands in package() are outdated. Instead of

install -Dm755 qt/runanki "$pkgdir"/usr/bin/anki
install -Dm644 qt/anki.desktop "$pkgdir"/usr/share/applications/anki.desktop
install -Dm644 qt/anki.png "$pkgdir"/usr/share/pixmaps/anki.png

one should have

install -Dm755 qt/runanki.py "$pkgdir"/usr/bin/anki
install -Dm644 qt/linux/anki.desktop "$pkgdir"/usr/share/applications/anki.desktop
install -Dm644 qt/linux/anki.png "$pkgdir"/usr/share/pixmaps/anki.png

Without changing them I get the same problem as @MartinX3, while with the new paths the package seems to install fine.

Ah, now I can finally compile it on my laptop as well

Sadly it stops now with

@misc Thank you and done :)

It's possible (not necessary) now to abbreviate the two bazel runs into one bazel build -c opt dist.

Problematic however is the .bazelversion, as it breaks building with higher versions unless manually matched (atm: 3.7.0 → 3.7.2). I guess just rm'ing the file works, too.

Hmm, laptop i7-6700HQ here and my ram isn't full and I compile on a SSD. And since we both use arch we should have the same package versions. Weird.

It works fine for me (i7 4770). No idea why it fails for you, sorry.

@misc Thank you, the package() is updated.

But sadly my building hangs at [698 / 1,093] Building rust worker [for host]; 757s linux-sandbox even without the "-c opt" flag

So someone else should test it and report bugs. :)

@MartinX3: oof, no idea why it does that for you (you could try compiling without -c opt just to see if it works, but the binary will be considerably slower).

However, it seems you did not update package() — the old pip install will fail.

@misc thank you a lot :D

I pushed an update, but sadly I can't test it correctly After several attempts it seem to loop or compile at this step (this time canceled earlier) [712 / 1,107] Building rust worker [for host]; 553s linux-sandbox

Or my laptop is too slow

New build instructions for 2.1.36:

build() {
    export CC=/usr/bin/clang
    export CXX=/usr/bin/clang++
    cd anki-$pkgver
    bazel build -c opt //pylib/anki:wheel
    bazel build -c opt //qt/aqt:wheel
}

package() {
    cd anki-$pkgver
    PIP_CONFIG_FILE=/dev/null pip install --isolated --root="$pkgdir" --ignore-installed --no-deps bazel-bin/pylib/anki/anki-*.whl bazel-bin/qt/aqt/aqt-*.whl
}

Obviously they still could use a cleanup. The export is necessary with ccache as it otherwise fails trying to access outside bazel's sandbox. Note that bazel itself will write outside the srcdir into ~/.cache/bazel.

depends & co. also need to be updated as in Community's package + bazel.

e: @MartinX3, oof, no idea why it does that for you (you could try compiling without -c opt just to see if it works, but the binary will be considerably slower). However, it seems you did not update package() — the old pip install will fail.

It fails to build.

Seems like the developers of anki doesn't provide a way to generate their provided binary bundle. It's only possible to run anki directly from code, which makes it impossible (?) to write an installation routine.

Broken

When I try to start Anki, I unfortunately get the following error: python3: relocation error: /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/PyQt5/Qt/plugins/platforms/../../lib/libQt5XcbQpa.so.5: symbol _ZN20QPlatformIntegration11screenAddedEP15QPlatformScreenb version Qt_5_PRIVATE_API not defined in file libQt5Gui.so.5 with link time reference Do you maybe have an idea how to fix it? Thank you very much!

EDIT: I fixed the problem. Removing the folder usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/PyQt5/Qt solved it.

@misc Apparently this is reporting an error due to a module change for a workaround, add " from PyQt5.QtWebEngineWidgets import * " to the file /usr/share/anki/aqt/webview.py

Please leave a comment for any further errors

Unfortunately, pyqt5 kills support for the required QtWebEngine with today's 5.12.

e: Ah, it's "just" separated out into the new python-pyqtwebengine package. Inverted commas since it's still crashing with "'QWebEngineView' is not defined" for me.

Updated it according to current Makefile. It should build now.

Hi, please pull this repository: https://git.linkmauve.fr/linkmauve/anki-git

I fixed all issues happening when installing Anki; it still doesn’t run though, because it requires Qt 5.9 and ArchLinux provides 5.11.

Still doesn't build.

Doesn't build anymore. mv: cannot stat 'tools/runanki.system': No such file or directory

Gives following error when started:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Exception: Qt 5.10 is known to be buggy.

This now depends on python-markdown.

Without that package installed, I get the following error on program start:
