[RESOLVED - see bottom] I am getting the error:

session-manager-plugin.deb ... FAILED
==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!
Error downloading sources: aws-session-manager-plugin

The issue appears to be that https://s3.amazonaws.com/session-manager-downloads/plugin/1.1.61.0/ubuntu_64bit/session-manager-plugin.deb has a sha256sum of d4d578a64210165ec434d658212304a968acb2efa49074868552427e738ea97c and the sha256sum in PKGBUILD is 21c7778ece8fadaf3f5510c7af5f90b6bbe1c41eb4d71cae57630c8bda8bba3bc19aabd44e2a0abcb56e18306cc05b060e377f2fb57ef78dcfd17bf1e784ce66.

Anyone else getting this?

I had previously installed 1.1.50.0 with https://github.com/ElijahLynn/aur-aws-session-manager-plugin (my first PKGBUILD/AUR) so I do wonder if that may be confusing things, but it seems like the mismatched SHA is the issue.

UPDATE: NVM - Yeah, I was using sha256sum instead of sha512sum. It matches, and does seem to be because of my previous install. I yay --remove aws-session-manager-plugin and reinstalled but same error so then I rm -rf ~/.cache/yay/aws-session-manager-plugin and reinstalled and all is well.

I really hated to do this, but as I've tried to contact the packager twice (he was initially responding to email, then went MIA) and received no replies I've used the Submit Request to the Arch TU team to add a co-maintainer or orphan the package so someone else can update it. @P67 I'll forward you the auto-generated email and keep you in the loop.

Hey @CallumDenby. Is there a possibility to get this updated? I'd love to collaborate to keep this package up to date..

I've already got a working PKGFILE handy if need be.

Any chance to get this updated?

@troyengel you are right, /opt is a much better location! I vote for it :-)

@crou I was thinking about that overnight as well, I think /opt would be a more LFHS standard / compliant path to use rather than /usr/local (spec)- Amazon is our vendor and delivering a binary payload, which matches the general concept of other vendor tooling we have in AUR (google-cloud-sdk, Zoom, etc.) and how it's delivered to users.

I haven't realized before, but is that expected to have this binary installed in /usr/sessionmanagerplugin/ ? /usr/local/sessionmanagerplugin would be more appropriate ;-)

@CallumDenby I emailed you, easier to chat re: the versions. Not sure myself. :-/

For anyone upgrading - because we just moved a non-package-tracked symlink into the package proper, you may see this when you attempt to upgrade to 1.1.35.0-3 or above from an older version:

Just do a quick sudo rm /usr/bin/session-manager-plugin first then upgrade the package. Standard pacman behaviour, protecting you from possibly making a mistake.
