@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.

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.

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.

typo in the fix, it's zst not rst

sed -i -e 's/\.tar\.zst/.tar.xz/' PKGBUILD

It has worked. Many thanks for your hint, lostatsea.

It looks like the compression format has changed to xz. If you are getting the error

tar: data.tar.zst: Cannot open: No such file or directory

then change the PKGBUILD using

sed -i -e 's/\.tar\.rst/.tar.xz/' PKGBUILD

and retry.

When I am trying to build koreader-bin 2024.11-2 I get the following error message:

tar: data.tar.zst: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
