Issue with brave-nightly-bin AUR package: 404 Not Found during update

Hello,

I'm experiencing an issue when trying to update the brave-nightly-bin package using Aura (or any AUR helper). The build process fails because the required .deb file for the latest version cannot be downloaded — the server returns a 404 Not Found error. Here are the relevant log excerpts:

==> Downloading brave-browser-nightly_1.82.52_amd64.deb...
curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404
mv: cannot stat '/home/username/.cache/aura/builds/brave-nightly-bin/brave-browser-nightly_1.82.52_amd64.deb.part': No such file or directory
...
tar: data.tar.xz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().
    Aborting...

It seems the version referenced by the PKGBUILD is no longer available on Brave's servers. This is a common issue with nightly packages, since older versions are often removed quickly.

Proposed solution:
Wait until the package maintainer updates the PKGBUILD to match the latest available nightly version, or manually edit the PKGBUILD to reference the current version and checksum.

If anyone has encountered this and found a workaround, please share!

Thank you.

the way *-flags.conf is handled on brave-nightly-bin seems different than brave-bin, can we normalize this? I have flags that somehow work on the stable's shell script but not on nightly's.

We have a number of improvements we'd like to make and unification across the different Brave packages in AUR is one of them. Stay tuned.

I no longer have time to maintain this package.

Yeah, it's really weird. I tried installing with makepkg and everything installed fine.

Thanks for the reply and for your work.

Looks like a Q for the yay people. I just installed with paru no problems.

When trying to update brave with the command "yay -S brave-nightly-bin", an error occurs. Here is the result:

AUR Explicit (1): brave-nightly-bin-1.69.106-1 :: PKGBUILD updated, skipped download: brave-nightly-bin -> merge error /home/denjia74/.cache/yay/brave-nightly-bin: fatal: No current branch.

I tried clearing .cache/yay, it didn't help me.
