hmm, I do have the "community" provided electron13, essentially because "element" also depends on "electron13", and when getting the "freetube" upgrades, there's NO attempt whatsoever to grab electron13 from AUR. Perhaps what some are experiencing is due to the AUR helper of choice? I use "aurutils", which does things pretty close to the manual process of makepkg...

My system doesn't have electron14 installed yet either. But I don't understand why the pkgbuild for freetube depends on a version of electron13 in AUR, when there is still a version of electron13 available in the community repo. Why not use that version?

I've the same problem as cb474. I suspect that this happens because our official electron package is still on version 13.x and this package requires the AUR package electron13 and does not check the version of the official electron package. I'm using Manjaro 21.1.2, which may explain why I don't have electron 14 installed.

When I try to build I get this error:

Error: Failed to commit transaction: conflicting files: - electron13-bin: /usr/bin/electron13 already exists in filesystem (owned by electron)

If electron13 is a dependency and I already have electron13 on my system, then why does the Freetube pkgbuild try to install electron13 separately from AUR and fail?

Sorry for the multiple updates in quick succession, but Arch very recently changed the electron package to be using version 14, which has caused multiple bugs in Freetube.

The default version of electron in Freetube (e.g. for pre-compiled binaries) is likely to be changed back to 13, and I'm also changing the diff files and dependencies here to use it.

@willemw I understand, thank you for pointing that out.

@je-vv: Hi. Both freetube-bin and freetube-git already define that they cannot be installed together (side-by-side) with another freetube package that provides "freetube". It is redundant to define that exclusion again the other way (for packages providing "freetube-bin" and "freetube-git") in the freetube package.

je-vv commented on 2021-05-19 06:39 (UTC)

@willemw, why? I might want to try one instead of the other, for some reason, and I find it pretty convenient uninstalling the prior one installed prior to installing the new package. Don't you think? Also, they might (I'm not sure) share owned files and dirs, which without uninstalling, for sure might be problematic...

willemw commented on 2021-05-19 06:04 (UTC)

freetube-bin, freetube-git in conflicts are redundant.
