On my system, I have the release version as well. It looks like the /usr/bin/kicad-cli fails to upgrade the symbols.

Passing the nightly CLI fixes this issue:

build_package()
{
    cd "$1"
    cmake . \
        -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/lib/kicad-nightly \
        -DKICAD_DATA=/usr/share/kicad-nightly \
        -DKICAD_CLI=/usr/bin/kicad-cli-nightly
    make
}

Pipelines for the official kicad-arch-builder has been failing for months now. I've figured out most of the challenges for fixing the CI and is now maintaining a working fork at:

This package also uses some optimizer called stepreduce, which might be benefitial addition to compression as well: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kicad-library-3d-git

Hello, can you please compress the models before packaging? Eg. from wrl/step to wrz/stpz It would save huge amount of disk space. Thanks! https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/73320

It seams that the symbols and footprints are not installed right. The packages3D are installed in /usr/share/kicad-nightly/3dmodels but there is nothing else. Even find can not locate any symbol or footprint.

Please change the url= from kicad-pcb [dot] org to kicad.org, as the old one has to be considered compromised: https://forum.kicad.info/t/warning-avoid-all-links-to-kicad-pcb-org-use-kicad-org/31521
