To disable signature verification, you can use the --skippgpcheck

Updating to 1.7.1-5 from 1.7.1-3 via Software Update in Manjaro. I get the following prompt:

"The PGP key 9F6FC345...95CDE47E is needed to verify bridge-utils source files. Trust Stephen Hemminger (Microsoft corporate) sthemmin@microsoft.com and import the PGP key?"

Is this expected?

Satsea, good point. I think just adding --with-linux-headers to build{} should be the right call, then.

satsea commented on 2026-01-29 13:32 (UTC)

Isn't it linux-api-headers? I think it's on almost every Arch system because glibc depends on it. So do we even need to add it as a dependency, given that we already have deps on glibc anyway?

jghodd, would that fix actually work for everyone? That's what I did, but what would the behavior be if linux-headers was not installed? It's not listed as a dependency.

Why was this removed from extra?

Because upstream declared, actually a long time ago:

Note: the bridge-utils package is DEPRECATED, instead use the bridge command from iproute2 package.

After all this is more or less abandoned and no longer maintained.

Satsea's fix works perfectly. Easy fix. Just change the build() function in the PKGBUILD file:


build() {
  cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}"

  ./configure \
    --prefix=/usr \
    --sbindir=/usr/bin \
    --sysconfdir=/etc \
    --with-linux-headers=/usr/include
  make
}

The workaround in satsea's comment worked for me. Detecting linux-headers and conditionally adding that flag to ./configure would be a very cool addition to the PKGBUILD.

Chrooting shouldn't be necessary here, i think. bridge-utils needs UAPI headers, which are in /usr/include, so we can just pass --with-linux-headers=/usr/include to ./configure. I'm not sure why the autodetection picks /usr/src/linux, but once it overrided, everything builds fine
