It seems solved

@gefyrotos @hrdl The issue has been fixed.

I was encountering this error during install:

tar: data.tar.xz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...
 -> error making: koreader-bin-exit status 4
 -> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required:
koreader-bin - exit status 4

My guess is the KOReader devs changed the compression of the Debian release.

Anyway, the fix is exactly what @bossi said.

@simona, I had the same issue, see my post previous to yours. Edit the build function in the PKGBUILD file and change data.tar.xz to data.tar.zst, save and build/upgrade.

can't compile. file not found.

Hi there,

the issue rogue_ronin addressed on 2024-11-25 still persists: It seems the build function has not been changed to refer to data.tar.zst instead of data.tar.xz yet, doing so fixes the build from today's release (2025.08-2).

Can change the fonts to optdepends? As installing those fonts (most probably fonts-noto-hinted) causes the system-wide font style changed.

exu commented on 2024-12-28 20:42 (UTC)

Could you please bump the pkgrel? Looks like you fixed the zst -> xz issue a while ago but didn't bump the pkgrel. This leads to issues with (broken) cached versions for anyone using AUR helpers.

@adimineman @rogue_ronin Thank you to let me know, fixed.
