For anyone having issues with the PGP key, yay imports it automatically, but you can also do it manually with

gpg --recv-keys 9AA9BDB11BB1B99A21285A330664A76954265E8C

Patch to switch the PKGBUILD over to the Gitlab mirror. It's not broke, GNU's Savannah infrastructure is just not very good for a public mirror:

Hi, and thanks for maintaining this package!

It seems the latest commit bumped the pkgrel to 3 in the SRCINFO only, not in PKGBUILD.

As a result, the aur advertises 1.33-3 as available, but the package ends up being 1.33-2. This leads to AUR helpers constantly trying to update this package.

Could you please update PKGBUILD and SRCINFO to agree on a version (either pkgrel=2 or 3 would work). Thanks again!

EDIT: I don't have any issue building the package, apart from the release number. If you're having issues and are using a AUR helper, try removing the package cache (for example if using paru, rm -r ~/.cache/paru/clone/libidn11).

This package is broken:

Also, the "receiving objects" step takes an extremely long time because the source appears to be throttling to just a few KiB/s.

I checked,

    Bump back the pkgrel

here the change was made in PKGBUILD,

-   pkgrel = 2
+   pkgrel = 3

can we revert this change why this change was made?

I have a dependency on libidn11.

I installed icaclient using yay. Now when I do an update using yay -Syu, it tries to update everytime this library. It knows libidn11 has latest version as 1-33-3, but when going further for update, it installs 1-33-2 only(previous version)

Below shows the instance.

above occurs everytime. Anyone know solution here or is there any change in the PKGBUILD needed?

This one needs a maintainer.
