When I use:

informant

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sgmllib'

I had a similar issue than @Aphosis.

However, installing with miniconda auto-activation set to false and without any virtual environment also made the trick.

Thank you for your work

@Aphosis no problem, thanks for posting the solution. The PKGBUILD uses python to build and install, I should probably make that directly reference the system python in order to avoid virtualenv issues like you had.

@bradford-smith94 Thanks for the quick answer.

Found something odd when listing the files as you suggested: don't know how I managed to do that but the package was built using an old virtualenv of mine.

Had to delete it, remove the cache and reinstall, and now all works fine.

Thanks for the help !

@Aphosis it should be in /usr/bin/informant, you can use pacman -Ql informant to show what files have been installed by the package. Did you get any error while installing it?

Hi,

First of all thanks for the awesome package.

It looks like informant broke for me a few updates ago, presumably since 0.4 or 0.4.1.

I didn't manage to make it work since then, it blocks pacman updates with a call to execv failed (No such file or directory).

What's weird is that the informant command itself is not available anymore. The current user is in the informant group.

Where should I look for the executable (or Python script) ?

Thanks again.

@dslink can you provide an example of what you are trying to do and what error message you are seeing?

dslink commented on 2020-10-16 04:13 (UTC)

the read command is making everything fail even just with pacman no aur helpers

Oh okay, thanks for the explanation @bradford-smith94. I already have an alias+script in bashrc to update all system+AUR packages and clean orphaned ones etc, so I just add read and check to that before the update/upgrade commands so that it'll always succeed once pacman starts going over the hooks. And in case of install I can set up another alias, I think.
