tried method mentioned by @dschense but did not work

gave and error

makepkg -si ==> Making package: foxitreader 2.4.4.0911-4 (Tue 31 Mar 2020 10:59:01 PKT) ==> Checking runtime dependencies... ==> Installing missing dependencies... [sudo] password for zulfiqar: error: target not found: gstreamer0.10-base warning: 'gstreamer0.10-base' is a file, did you mean -U/--upgrade instead of -S/--sync? ==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies. ==> Missing dependencies: -> gstreamer0.10-base ==> Checking buildtime dependencies... ==> ERROR: Could not resolve all dependencies.

dschense commented on 2020-03-28 10:32 (UTC)

to get it running you have to download the gstreamer0.10-base package and edit the PKGBUILD file

yay -G gstreamer0.10-base

edit the PKGBUILD file and add

find . -exec sed -i -e 's/\\#include/#include/g' {} \;

right before the make command in the build function

after this do 

makepkg -si

and after build and install completed, run the yay -S foxitreader again.

I tried it and it's working, @freaz , thx!!

There are comments on the gst-plugins-base aur page with instructions from Static_Rocket to hack the PKGBUILD file to fix the current problem. It works if you can figure it out.

Same problem as phiL0co and Archanfel80HUN.

The gstreamer0.10-base dependency fails during the build of gst-plugins-base-0.10.36.

phiL0co commented on 2020-03-04 15:01 (UTC)

I'm having the same compile problem with gstreamer. Any way this can be circumvented?

Archanfel80HUN commented on 2020-02-21 10:02 (UTC)

The dependency gstreamer0.10-base no longer build. Its failed to compile, therefore foxitreader not installed.

@hivinay

the defect is not possible anymore as the EULA was included into the package itself

These are the steps I used to upgrade with the eula.html error, in case this helps anyone.

Get the hash:

yay -G foxitreader (or use another method to download the AUR package)
cd foxitreader
sha256 eula.html

As of this comment, it is 4ca287e0c47f46df4185be7ff273c0cced304672ebc750aad6236590e1a772e6.

Replace the second sha256 hash (currently line 21) in the PKGBUILD file in this folder with the hash that you found above.

Then, run makepkg -si to install.

this is becoming so irritating. The Foxit website keeps changing the EULA for some reasons, unknown to me. It just changed three times today.

Therefore I'm incorporating the license file in the source package

It should be fixed once and forever.
