Currently it's practically impossible to make this package work on Arch since it relies on old versions of python modules. I recommend using https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/aws-cli-v2-bin/.

I doubt this'll change anytime soon. If you're interested: https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/issues/4947#issuecomment-586046886

Hello, for the python version problem. I fixed it locally by using this page https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Python_package_guidelines#Using_site-packages

line 37 (install ac.index update)

local site_packages=$(python -c "import site; print(site.getsitepackages()[0])")
install -Dm 644 ac.index "$pkgdir""$site_packages"/awscli/data/ac.index

This will use the good python site package whatever your python version

This package has a dependency on python-botocore-v2-git which is flagged orphaned for me and today my aws tooling broke. I should add that I haven't used the aws cli for a week or so, I only stumpled upon the error today.

There is a community/python-botocore 1.19.13-3 which is quite uptodate.

For the quick fix I installed the aws-cli-v2-bin package, due to the dependency conflict.

The PKBUILD has /usr/lib/python3.8 hard-coded in one place, which is not the right directory anymore now that 3.9 has been rolled out.

@mnesterenko, I found the reason, I have it installed via my distro, and manually, when v2 came out there was no AUR package, so I did a manual install, and forgot about it.

@aliencoder, that is strange path you have

I have checked built package contents:

$ pacman -Ql aws-cli-v2 | head -n 5
aws-cli-v2 /usr/
aws-cli-v2 /usr/bin/
aws-cli-v2 /usr/bin/aws
aws-cli-v2 /usr/bin/aws.cmd

You should have it by this path

Hi there, Editing the build scripts fixed the build, but it seems I still have the old

aws --version
aws-cli/2.0.33 Python/3.7.3 Linux/5.8.6-1-MANJARO botocore/2.0.0dev37

which aws
/usr/local/aws-cli/v2/current/bin/aws

any ideas?

Solved. Based on @aliencoder and my issues. Figured it had to do with PYTHONPATH.

Especially considering that the import error was referencing the $USER local dir: /home/$USER/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages

I explicitly set PYTHONPATH to the proper global path and the local (for the package build) and all went as expected.

So for the PKGBUILD.

PYTHONPATH=.:/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages ./scripts/gen-ac-index --index-location=./ac.index

Solves it. Pretty sure this will work for most users.

Thank you all, I just moved PYTHONPATH inline.

@dbirks, @L0-FF, not sure about this error, when PYTHONPATH is fixed aws-cli-v2 is built successfully:
