Build error

install: impossible d'évaluer '/home/gregory/.cache/pacaur/emote/pkg/emote/usr/share/applications/emote.desktop': Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type ==> ERREUR : Une erreur s’est produite dans package(). Abandon… :: failed to build python-hijri-converter package(s) :: failed to build emote package(s)

I'm also getting stuck on the "Launching emote daemon" line.

E: Seems to have passed with a reboot.

• xdotool should be optdepends since it’s not used under Wayland.

• I don’t know where the python-xlib dependency came from, but the upstream repository only contains “xlib” (case-insensitive) in one place, snap/snapcraft.yaml as a build package, and nowhere else in documentation or source, so it should probably be removed.

• In theory libkeybinder3 should also be optional since its functionality doesn’t work under Wayland and its calls are mostly disabled under Wayland, but the code does still require it, so that would need to be fixed before it can be made optdepends.

It fixed itself after restart.

Anyone knows about "Launching emote daemon" freeze?

It installs properly and already installed the manimpango via pip, but upon start, nothing happens.

When I run it via the cli, it hangs with "Launching emote daemon" and stays so until I kill it. Any idea what's going on?

EDIT

After bumping up the pkgrel and rebuilding, it doesn't hang in there. However, can't run it by a keyboard shortcut even after changing :( No errors, nothing.

Note: python-manimpango get installation error after moving to python 3.10.1

Note: Requires a rebuild after moving to python 3.10. It might be a good idea to bump the build number.
