Arch Linux User Repository

Failure in check() indicates that the setup script has been changed. Please flag the package out of date if this happens.

If the application reports a new version, you can OK the update and it will make and install an updated Arch package. (You will need your sudo password.) However, cewe-fotobuch is likely to update itself to Cewe Fotowelt, without changing the package name. Your settings will not be transferred from fotobuch to fotowelt.

There are instructions on installing different country/language variants at the start of the PKGBUILD.

My last update shows a conflict between libjpeg and libjpeg-turbo. Can you update the cewe-fotobuch to libjpeg-turbo? THX

There is a new version of Fotowelt available. Not yet of Fotobuch.

Building on DonJaime's comment from 2024-05-15 on how to change the country and locale: In PKGBUILD, you need to set the variable _productVariant to a value like "Austria", "UK", or "Slovenia". Its default value is "Fotobuch" which maps to Germany. There's a list of allowed values, prefixed with _prams_. I used aura for installing cewe-fotobuch and had to add --nocheck since otherwise makepkg would fail: aura -A --nocheck --hotedit cewe-fotobuch

You can't change the language. You can choose a variant for a different country (change a line in the PKGBUILD, or download a setup file and feed it to the PKGBUILD), but then you end up ordering in a different country, too.

How to change the language of the application ? Thank you very much

Trying to build in a clean chroot, it seems 7z is missing:

==> Starting package()... Smartmatch is deprecated at ./install.pl line 376. Smartmatch is deprecated at ./install.pl line 378. Für die korrekte Ausführung des Scriptes wird das Programm '7z' benötigt! ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package(). Aborting...

From the "install.pl": my @REQUIRED_PROGRAMMS = ("7z", "md5sum", "less", "wget", "uname");

So i guess its missing p7zip as makedeps?

Please do not flag out of date for other problems. There is no new product version, and the current package runs on my up-to-date system. More information would be useful to identify/fix the problem:

Did you try rebuilding/reinstalling the application? Was there a message listing "Available platform plugins"? Are you actually using a wayland session?

EDIT: forget all that. Found the problem. Fix on the way.

It isn't possible tu use cewe-fotobuch :

$ cewe-fotobuch

qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "wayland" in "" This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. Abandon (core dumped)

I tried to install cewe-fotobuch and cewe-fotowelt from a archlinux container in distrobox. Both install and and attempts to start after installing the following packages:

nss libxcomposite libxr libxtst freetype2 libfontconfig fontconfig

However it fails to start with the following error:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'St13runtime_error' what(): locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid Aborted (core dumped)

Anyone a idea?

I don't work for CEWE but I have noticed that input into text boxes has some limitations. If you have selected a font that you know contains the emojis and you can't paste them in, then you have discovered another one.
