The reason I posted at all is because I tried freefilesync-bin and it is calling for multi-lib (32bit) dependency's that I find undesirable. Others may feel the same. Thanks for the clarification though. I only need the binary.

That's for the binary release, this package that you're commenting on is for the source release. The binary release that you're referencing can be installed using the package freefilesync-bin. This package requires a patched libgtk or something to be built. The last 2 or 3 versions have been failing because of this.

Hopefully this is not offensive to anybody, but freefilesync (with easy install script) can be found here: https://freefilesync.org

Thank you for what you do.

This is not my fault, the developer is silently updating the source file without bumping the version number. It's happened before, may happen again.

freefilesync has been failing to build on my system for awhile now:

==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check! error: failed to download sources for 'freefilesync-14.0-1': error: packages failed to build: freefilesync-14.0-1

It seems that the problem is not FreeFileSync itself, but wxWidget. https://freefilesync.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=46566

@atescula i dont have a fix right now, if someone does please post it here
