Arch Linux User Repository

@brody: thanks, I missed the update. It's now fixed.

Bruno uses electron 33 see https://github.com/usebruno/bruno/blob/dfb0b1b96627a978eb5c33378c026348d0004397/package-lock.json#L11625

I just had a look into the github repository. The package.json file at tag 1.38.1 contains a "version": "v1.36.0". So they indeed forgot about it.

https://github.com/usebruno/bruno/blob/v1.38.1/packages/bruno-electron/package.json#L2

Not sure if this an Arch issue or not, but I installed 1.38.1-1 today. When I launched Bruno and went to About, it says it is at version 1.36.0. In /usr/lib/bruno/package.json, it also states "version": "v1.36.0". Perhaps the developers forgot to update their json files?

Finally had time to fix newer releases. It now starts, the issue was caused by telemetry options not being set at build time. I ended up disabling telemetry altogether.

Hi @nbari,

I usually use makepkg in a chroot environment to test PKGBUILD. Otherwise, the aur helper yay fits my needs and I do not test with other helpers (if the PKGBUILD best practices are followed it should be compatible with any tool you'd like anyway).

I did the exercise to build bruno in a clean chroot with pkgctl build to ensure I didn't miss a thing this time and I'm positive it builds correctly and no build dependency is missing.

My best guess is that some custom configuration you have on your host is messing with the build and sadly, I'm sorry to say I do not practice python enough to be able to help with your current issue.

Hi @vianney, I do have python-setuptools:

But I still get the error when doing: paru -Sy bruno can you please elaborate more about how to install it?

Using:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/bruno.git
ce bruno
makepkg -C:

Gives this error:

Managed to make it work, I am using pyenv no idea why the python from my env is taken or affects makepkg I had to install setuptools via pip:

pip install setuptools

then paru -Sy bruno worked:

 paru -Si bruno

Any idea/tip for these cases where pyenv is used?

Hi @nbari, as @dbb wrote, distutils is released within the python-setuptools package. It's in the make dependencies so you should not have the issue.

I am having the same problem as described by @dbb, when trying to update using paru -Sy bruno, I get:

  Traceback (most recent call last):

Any idea how to fix it?

Hi there,

1.35.0 has been out there for a week and while an updated PKGBUILD builds, bruno only displays its error screen when I try to test it. I haven't found why yet.

I also have very limited time to work on this issue for now so if you're interested in the 1.35.0, do not hesitate to try and have a go at it.

edit: just tried with 1.36.1 and the issue persists.

edit (2025, 9th of january): issue still persists with 1.38.1.

edit (2025, 6th of february): fixed it. It was related to telemetry. I had to apply a patch to disable it so bruno could start.
