Also, when using: https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/dict-gcide/dict-gcide_0.48.5+nmu4.tar.xz to resolve the previous problem, I get the error of:

==> Starting prepare()...
/var/local/cache/makepkg/commonpkgbuilds/2dicts/dict-gcide/PKGBUILD: line 33: cd: dict-gcide-0.48.5+nmu4: No such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().
    Aborting...

And then:

==> Starting build()...
/var/local/cache/makepkg/commonpkgbuilds/2dicts/dict-gcide/PKGBUILD: line 46: cd: dict-gcide-0.48.5+nmu4: No such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...

And then:

==> Starting build()...
/var/local/cache/makepkg/commonpkgbuilds/2dicts/dict-gcide/PKGBUILD: line 46: cd: dict-gcide-0.48.5+nmu4: No such file or directory

    Aborting...

I resolve it by removing all those {_debver} which make the error.

@S0AndS0,

Yep, I can second your issue.

Getting 404 not found for deb URL;

• https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/dict-gcide/dict-gcide_0.48.5+nmu3.tar.xz

Checking the server it seems there be a nmu2 or nmu4 available;

• https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/dict-gcide/dict-gcide_0.48.5+nmu2.tar.xz
• https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/dict-gcide/dict-gcide_0.48.5+nmu4.tar.xz

... but nmu3, as of 2025-05-01, has vanished.

Update

I believe I solved it! Here be a perma-link to changes that seem to work on my computer;

The PGP signature does not successfully verify the source file gcide-0.53.tar.xz

Has to use: --mflags "--skippgpcheck"

Dear @kovdan01 !

bison is a dependency of base-devel package! And AUR PKGBUILDs should not include base-devel and its dependencies.

You are supposed to read AUR guidelines for instructions about how to use it. Installing base-devel is part of it.

Could you please add bison to make dependencies? Without that installed, the following error occurs:

...

Thanks; fixed.

FYI: The most recent commit changed fixes.sed without updating its checksum in the PKGBUILD file

bison and flex are dependencies of base-devel

To quote the Arch Wiki:

The package base-devel is assumed to be already installed when building with makepkg. Dependencies of this package should not be included in makedepends array.

Sorry for having missed your earlier comment.

Ok, I needed to install bison and flex. They should be made explicit dependencies in the PKGBUILD.
