Never mind! Fixed it with a clean build :p

error while loading shared libraries: libboost_filesystem.so.1.81.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory, which makes sense: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/boost-libs/ provides 1.83 now

This is just stupid, makes it not possible to run bitcoin and bitcoin cash on the same machine.

The ticker war is over, please start playing nice by renaming to bitcoincash-cli etc.

I created the bitcoin-cash(-qt) packages that address the below concerns and then some. Here's the commit message (https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=bitcoin-cash&id=3224ab8b548e35bb3550222d99b0c10fd57282e1):

bitcoin-cash(-qt)

  • Remove hacky user/directory management in postinstall scripts
  • Add systemd-sysusers and systemd-tmpfiles configs
  • Make bitcoin user a system user
  • Get rid of potentially harmful directory removals
  • Only bundle the GUI binary stuff in the -qt package and make it depend on the base package
  • Merge packages into a single split PKGBUILD
  • Add RuntimeDirectory to service units

Feel free to merge the changes back into this pkgbuild. Otherwise I'll try to keep the fork up to date.

If you want to send me a diff for the PKGBUILD that can rename the directory on removal, and restore it on install that would be great.

@quest That makes sense, but also you have to consider the possible MAJOR catastrophic monetary and time consequences of deleting people's wallet.dat and 100s GB of blockchain without any warning. I couldn't find references Archlinux's policy regarding user data, but I see this akin to deleting /user/pictures when you uninstall GIMP.

What about one of these:
- Rename vs Remove and inform user it has been renamed?
- Information on the package about the possibility of deleted user data https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=234413
- Leave to the user to remove/rename folder after uninstall

I can't replicate your error, in fact the install script creates /run/bitcoin, just double checked.

As for the srv directory, I remove it because the bitcoin packages use the same path. There are many packages that are not compatible with that data directory.

bitcoind[903]: Error: Unable to create the PID file '/run/bitcoin/bitcoind.pid': No such file or directory

Directory /run/bitcoin doesn't exist. Creating it manually and changing owership to bitcoin:bitcoin fixes the problem until the next reboot.

You might want to pass along a tmpfile.d config https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd#systemd-tmpfiles_-_temporary_files

Also in your post_remove you "rm -rf /srv/bitcoin /run/bitcoin" imo, this is quite dangerous since it might accidentally delete wallet.dat/blockchain if people decide to upgrade to a different package or whatnot.
