Arch Linux User Repository

Just as an FYI, this:

Thanks for the detailed report, @vstuart. I'm still investigating why this happens after dependencies are upgraded (possibly something similar to this?) but in the meantime, rebuilding the package makes the error go away.

Happens every time there's a "major" upgrade of Python (eg. from python3.8 -> python3.9). The recommended "fix" for AUR packages is to simply bump the pkgrel. This will forcibly trigger a rebuild for all users of the package, resolving the problem.

Please don't be one of those people that says "you should just force a rebuild on your local machine" either, because that completely ignores the fact that not everyone uses the AUR in the same way, and not everyone is using a "traditional" AUR helper.

Thanks @lkrms, I sent a request. I also wanted to include that it's having problems finding the emote.desktop and can't continue updating. Not sure if it's me or what.

Thanks!

@jef Unfortunately otf-openmoji doesn't provide emoji-font, otherwise it would be added to the list automatically. Best to contact the maintainer and ask them to add provides=('emoji-font') to the PKGBUILD.

Hi there, could you add otf-openmoji to that list?

Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion, @matteoturini. The package now depends on emoji-font, which is provided by ttf-joypixels, ttf-apple-emoji, noto-fonts-emoji and others. noto-fonts-emoji is still recommended first, for consistency with the upstream project.

Does this package need noto-fonts-emoji? I'm currently using ttf-apple-emoji.

Thanks for the detailed report, @vstuart. I'm still investigating why this happens after dependencies are upgraded (possibly something similar to this?) but in the meantime, rebuilding the package makes the error go away.

Thanks, @MarcoDiFrancesco. Added. As best I can tell, Emote’s other dependencies are pulled in by gtk3.

The package extra/libkeybinder3 is also needed for this to work.
