The package fails to build:

==> Starting build()...
python: can't open file '/home/managor/.cache/yay/efiboots-git/src/efiboots/setup.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

 -> error making: efiboots-git-exit status 4

The author started using the gnome build system so this package should now use meson instead of python to build and install.

re-installed grub - grub-mkconfig & grub-install - works!

efiboots hosed my efi, Lenovo reverted to default efi. (I wanted to delete old ubuntu and opensuse entries)

Packaging is broken by upstream: the setup does not include all files and the code assumes you're in the same dir as the script.

Here's a fixed PKGBUILD that keeps everything together in /opt/: https://gitlab.com/-/snippets/3693763

Same runtime error. Tried the improved PKGBUILD, but that didn't work either.

Hey, experiencing the same issues as the others:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/efiboots", line 6, in <module>
    import efiboots
  File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/efiboots.py", line 9, in <module>
    from efibootmgr import Efibootmgr
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'efibootmgr'

@dreieck: This already depends on efibootmgr, the issue is on your end. Don't mix system and local Python packages.

@Elinvention:

Improved PKGBUILD

dreieck commented on 2024-01-18 17:56 (UTC)

A dependency is missing:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/efiboots", line 6, in <module>
    import efiboots
  File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/efiboots.py", line 9, in <module>
    from efibootmgr import Efibootmgr
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'efibootmgr'

(efibootmgr does not provide the python package.)

Regards!
