The first line of the wiki about AUR states clearly that you need to install base-devel https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository#Getting_started

If the package fails to build, simply remove the src directory and try again

This is its own license: https://spdx.org/licenses/TCP-wrappers.html

Which one is it ? Because the DISCLAIMER file looks like some bizarre version of early BSD license...

Please use spdx license identifier.

Hello,

I find there is something significantly going wrong with security in archlinux. I just had to find out that snmpd from net-snmp does not contain libwrap any longer. And I am really fed up with guys with complete absence of knowledge in system administration talk about "simply" replacing libwrap by firewalling. They seem to have no idea about how it all works. For a firewall the kernel needs to pipe every single packet through a filter. You do that with 100% packets to find below 1% packets (or a lot less in most cases) that deal with the service in question, be it snmpd or (quite some time back already) sshd. For very good reason mikrotik has libwrap (or an equivalent) in every delivered routeros since probably the very first. And ArchLinux simply follows this "kids demolition style" ("code is older than me, therefore must be useless"). Sorry for abusing your comments, but I cannot email eworm for lack of email address to complain. Still this needs a lot broader discussion, which seems not there ... -- Regards, Stephan

Thanks for making it clear because I never read the AUR wiki. Installed base-devel and worked.

@Unstable4748 you need to install the base-devel package before dealing with the AUR

==> Starting prepare()... /var/tmp/pamac-build-username/libwrap/PKGBUILD: line 34: patch: command not found ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare(). Aborting...

If someone know how to fix this please provide some step by step instructions. Leaving an abstract message like 'add this' or 'delete this' does not help most of us noobs.

I just copied the PKGBUILD from the community repo after the package was deleted from that repo. the exact same PKGBUILD.

it provives tcp_wrappers libs, not tcp_wrappers

I don't see it as relevant to add tcp_wrappers as provides. May be it is those packages that need to depend on tcp_wrappers-libs and not tcp_wrappers ?

FabioLolix commented on 2023-06-02 19:25 (UTC)

Hello, please add tcp_wrappers to provides as some pkgbuilds need that
