Arch Linux User Repository

you are probably right... it works on an other Arch system...

For me, no problems installing it with yay:

$ yay backintime

Typed in "3" to install backintime-git.

...
Packages (2) backintime-cli-git-1.3.1.r1.ge1ae23dd-2  backintime-git-1.3.1.r1.ge1ae23dd-2

Total Installed Size:  1.57 MiB

:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n]
...

You didn't say how you built it.

$ yay backintime

Warnung: Kann "backintime-cli-git" nicht auflösen (eine Abhängigkeit von "backintime-git") :: Das folgende Paket kann aufgrund nicht auflösbarer Abhängigkeiten nicht aktualisiert werden: backintime-git

You didn't say how you built it.

backintime-cli-git is in the AUR. Makepkg won't be able to install it automatically as a dependency by itself.

backintime-cli-git is part of the backintime-git split package base. Some AUR helpers may perhaps not work correctly with split packages.

Is this a problem?:

WARNING: Failed to read process stat from /proc/3553136/stat: [2] No such file or directory

It's a known issue: https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/issues/659

Or this:

/usr/bin/makepkg: line 395: local: `-': not a valid identifier

I don't see that message in my build output (when running makepkg directly).

now:

Warnung: Kann "backintime-cli-git" nicht auflösen (eine Abhängigkeit von "backintime-git") :: Das folgende Paket kann aufgrund nicht auflösbarer Abhängigkeiten nicht aktualisiert werden: backintime-git

Is this a problem?:

WARNING: Failed to read process stat from /proc/3553136/stat: [2] No such file or directory

Or this:

/usr/bin/makepkg: line 395: local: `-': not a valid identifier

@tom: that build error should probably be fixed now.

$ locale -a C de_DE.utf8 POSIX

there is no error

@tom: it may have something to do with the warning: "/bin/sh: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale". If you run locale -a, you should not see any errors (see https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=234447).

Please put log output in a Markdown code block/section next time.

@carlosnewmusic: that is a bug in a backintime test. It happens after an empty crontab is saved:

$ crontab -e

Save an empty crontab.

$ crontab -l | wc -l
