Arch Linux User Repository

This package is deprecated in favor of aur/flutter which now contains all required artifacts on its own. This PKGBUILD will be kept as is in order to ensure seamless builds of old Flutter version in future.

Got the following error on flutter doctor command:

Flutter failed to create a directory at "/opt/flutter/bin/cache/downloads".
Please ensure that the SDK and/or project is installed in a location that has read/write permissions for the current user.

Patch to make it works:

I've got with fakeroot and makepkg errors like:

Can you precaching during prepare phase instead of package phase ?

thanks! bacteriostat

@yanpas I solved the conflicting files issue by running: paru -S --overwrite '*' flutter

Can't update to 3.0.3, get tons of errors like: flutter: '/opt/flutter/bin/cache/pkg/sky_engine/lib/ui/plugins.dart' file exists in a filesystem

@ricardosimoes i also got the same error and did the same to fix it. ^_^

@ricardosimoes I also encountered the same issue on Arch, did the same thing you did.

Got error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) flutter: /opt/flutter/.git/FETCH_HEAD exists in filesystem on MANJARO, but I ran sudo mv /opt/flutter/.git/FETCH_HEAD /opt/flutter/.git/FETCH_HEAD.bak and then it built fine

Solution to mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/opt/flutter/bin/cache’: Permission denied
You need to run the command to add your user to the group.
Run gpasswd -a <user> flutterusers
