Confirmed - yes, the pkgsum is outdated.

For others reading this, you can fix this yourself outside the AUR helper. Just use, e.g.,: yay -G backrest to download the pkgbuild, and update the pkgsum:

yay -G backrest
cd backrest
updpkgsums
makepkg -si

There seem to be a SHA mismatch potentially?

==> Validating source files with sha256sums...

    backrest.service ... Passed
    backrest@.service ... Passed
==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!
 -> error making: backrest-exit status 1

EDIT: I tried clearing the cache (~/.cache/yay/backrest) but it didn't help.

Would it be possible to set the BACKREST_BUILD_VERSION env var to the package version during building the frontend, so that it displays the version rather than "dev-snapshot-build" in the UI?

@DiegoBrutto do not use nodejs 22.7.0/22.8.0 to make.

@devome in the end the installation fails, but maybe the problem is something else. This is the output:

@DiegoBrutto As long as it can be compiled, other information can be ignored temporarily.

@PimA You should update pacman to the latest version. However, I have switched the source code download method from git to tar.gz.
