After an upgrade to Python 3.11, you need to rebuild this package (and all Python packages in the AUR).

There were some problems after the last update.

  1. I installed the python-pulsectl and python-ewmh packages.
  2. I reinstalled caffeine-ng.

It is working properly again.

Hi guys! I have been using this package for a long time without any problems, but last system upgrade something weird occurred. When I try to launch caffeine from plasma menu, the app doesn't start and I get this in the journal:

caffeine[10853]:   File "/usr/bin/caffeine", line 3, in <module>
caffeine[10853]:     from caffeine.cli import cli
caffeine[10853]:   File "/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/caffeine/__init__.py", line 37, in <module>
caffeine[10853]:   File "/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/caffeine/__init__.py", line 30, in init_translations
systemd[829]: app-caffeine@dc6941742c114263b927c8a30f445299.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
systemd[829]: app-caffeine@dc6941742c114263b927c8a30f445299.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

But, if I launch it from a terminal, it works:

 > caffeine &
[1] 11541
(caffeine:11541): libayatana-appindicator-WARNING **: 12:18:19.401: libayatana-appindicator is deprecated. Please use libayatana-appindicator-glib in newly written code.
No property specified.

Very weird! I rebuilt the dependencies packages just in case, but the results are the same. Any ideas what could be wrong with my system? I know is a big ask without reveling anything else but I understand this is not a support forum. Just want to check if somebody experienced something like this in the past so could give me a hint.

Thanks in advance!.

Solved based on RefSnow comment:

yay -S --rebuild $(yay -Qqo /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/)

The man page is currently located in usr/share/man/man1/caffeine/caffeine.1.gz. Correct location should be in usr/share/man/man1/caffeine.1.gz.

Using man-db package, it returns "No manual entry for caffeine" when man caffeine is executed.

RefSnow commented on 2024-05-20 00:36 (UTC)

Anyone who is having problems can try the command below.

For me, it worked.

paru -S --rebuild $(paru -Qqo "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages")

whynothugo commented on 2024-05-18 22:01 (UTC)

python-ewmh is still available here: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/python-ewmh

It can still be built from source. Ideally, someone can maintain it in the AUR.

stas-t commented on 2024-05-18 21:02 (UTC)

Just a kind reminder: python-ewmh is gone from AUR. So I guess caffeine-ng will fail to build.

jadespace commented on 2024-05-07 03:44 (UTC)

I'll throw in the extra detail for anyone that needs it - since I use paru, I uninstalled this package, and then removed the cached files in ~/.cache/paru. Doing that for both caffeine-ng and python-pulsectl let me rebuild them on install. Still works in 3.12, as is.
