opencv has split of it's python parts since opencv 4.5.2-2, they are now available as python-opencv. This will need to be included as a dependency of Howdy.

extra/qt5-base is missing as a dependency

@teaper I don't feel that's the right way -- howdy already includes the dependency of python-dlib (AUR) package.

Another possible cause is that python-dlib was built against Python 3.8, while Python in Arch just upgraded to 3.9. Rebuilding and then reinstalling python-dlib will fix this.

(But interestingly, the python 3.9.0-1 package was built on 2020-10-08. I installed my system on 2020-11-10, so I'm pretty certain that python was 3.8 at that point. Probably the package directly moved from testing to extra?)

@noom sudo pip install dlib and sudo howdy test

@noom It looks like a Python error message. Did you build pam-python in the same way I described in it? Apart from replacing the source with v1.0.8, I also commented out line 25, 26 & 28 (i.e. those replacing python with python2 & sphinx using sed).

I can successfully build the package using renyuneyn intructions but howdy fails with ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dlib'.

As in pam-python, there doesn't seem to be a need of any Python 2 components, e.g. python2-sphinx. I replaced python2-sphinx with python-sphinx, built and installed the package. Then I configured it as described in the doc, it works as expected. Probably it's time to remove all Python 2 things.

Here is what I did to install howdy successfully.

Edit pam_python PKGBUILD as follows:

  1. In the makedepends statement change 'python2-sphinx' to 'python-sphinx'
  2. In the prepare() statement comment or remove the line

    sed -i'' 's|sphinx-build|sphinx-build2|g' doc/Makefile

Edit howdy PKGBUILD as follows:

  1. In the makedepends statement change 'python2-sphinx' to 'python-sphinx'
  2. Add 'qt5-base' to the depends statement. If you don't do this step and you're a non KDE user, you will get the following error when running 'sudo howdy add': ImportError: libQt5Test.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

@bageljr

Thank you very much! I built pam-python using your method and now howdy works as expected.
