Thanks for the explanation. I reverted my last commit to include your temporary fix.

@Spixmaster I believe the root cause is a package versioning mismatch between protoc from protobuf and the plugin from python-grpcio-tools. The plugin only supports up to "Editions 2023" (open issue upstream).

That said, building this is is a packaging mismatch between what Arch is providing and what lightning's pyproject.toml pins. Arch is on python-grpcio-tools 1.76.0, but lightning has generated code created using grpcio-tools 1.75.1.

The --experimental-editions patch I provided before was a way to work around this. I'm not sure of any other solutions besides creating python-grpcio-tools-1.75 and protobuf-31.1 in the AUR.

This error is still present for me, https://github.com/ElementsProject/lightning/issues/8532.

@cotsuka - thank you for your work on this. I upgraded and everything is working correctly.

I've been running with the updated PKGBUILD with no issues.

EDIT: My guess as to the 40 MB increase in size is due to the --experimental-editions flag, which means gRPC needs to be built with additional syntax/wire protocol support.

Currently, I do not need to use this software.

@cotsuka and @Spinxmaster - are you using this current version of the PKGBUILD following the changes by Cotsuka? I was able to successfully build it. The upgrade size was over 40 MB which seemed quite large. I haven't tried to install it and run it yet.

The related github issue seems about both the build process AND the plyn python modules so I was confused.

Works on my end.

Spixmaster commented on 2025-10-06 08:53 (UTC)

Thank you very much, cotsuka.

I blindly copied the fix. Tell me whether it builds now.

@Spixmaster I'm able to get this to build and confirmed working by adding --experimental-editions to the gRPC protoc flags. I have not tested to ensure anything else breaks, so use with caution.

Here's a patch that builds:

diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD

 build()
