Exactly, using provides is what I would have expected

Well, I left a comment on i2c-tools-git about this, hopefully that maintainer can sort that out. It's the same maintainer for python-smbus-git as well, so that may help (ideally everything should be moved to i2c-tools-git, with an added provides=(python-smbus-git) for backwards compatibility).

gardotd426 commented on 2020-12-20 11:49 (UTC)

This is the third time in the last like, two weeks where I've seen a -git package install completely different files from the non-git package. It's really annoying. Yeah, I'd had i2c-tools installed for months and months for OpenRGB, but I recently installed -git, and apparently that removed the smbus files. So then when I saw the errors I searched for python and smbus w/ yay and found python-smbus-git, installed it, and then everything worked fine.

So yeah, basically you need either i2c-tools, or i2c-tools-git and python-smbus-git.

jonasmalacofilho commented on 2020-12-20 11:46 (UTC)

I think I know what's going on: python-smbus-git installs i2c-tools-git, but that doesn't really replace i2c-tools correctly: i2c-tools includes the Python smbus module, i2c-tools-git doesn't (apparently it expects a python-smbus package, maybe a relic from the past).

Uninstall i2c-tools-git as well, then try makepkg -s again.

jonasmalacofilho commented on 2020-12-20 11:39 (UTC)

I don't have python-smbus-git ; )

$ pacman -Q python-smbus-git
error: package 'python-smbus-git' was not found

On the other hand:

$ pacman -Ql i2c-tools | grep python
i2c-tools /usr/lib/python3.9/
i2c-tools /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/
i2c-tools /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/smbus-1.1-py3.9.egg-info
i2c-tools /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/smbus.cpython-39-x86_64-linux-gnu.so

Also, building with python-smbus-git installed, during the successful build, this message is given:

byte-compiling /home/matt/tmp/makepkg/liquidctl-git/pkg/liquidctl-git/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/liquidctl/driver/smbus.py to smbus.cpython-39.pyc

And sure enough, pacman -Ql python-smbus-git gives /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/smbus.cpython-39-x86_64-linux-gnu.so

gardotd426 commented on 2020-12-20 11:28 (UTC)

I'm telling you, it requires python-smbus-git.

I just tried again in a fresh directory by running 


git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/liquidctl-git.git
cd liquidctl-git
makepkg -s

WITHOUT python-smbus-git installed. And it fails.

And like I said, if I install python-smbus-git and then install liquidctl-git, but then remove python-smbus-git, liquidctl will fail to run as well.

Here's the full error list:

Python is flipping out because there's no smbus module, which is provided by python-smbus-git, or through sudo pip install smbus

jonasmalacofilho commented on 2020-12-20 11:22 (UTC)

The smbus Python package is part of i2c-tools, and at the same time that I pushed that change to liquidctl, I made it a depends here (was in optdepends before that).

But... I forgot to update .SRCINFO; if you were using an AUR helper, perhaps it followed the dependencies on .SRCINFO, instead of PKGBUILD?

Anyway, it should be fixed now. Please give it a try and let me know.

EDIT: I actually found the commit, it was 20 hours ago, and it's now non-optional according to the commit message: https://github.com/jonasmalacofilho/liquidctl/commit/120b6082da650841900657dd959af9f0a90951db

You're missing a dependency, python-smbus-git

It wasn't required before, but it definitely is now (at least for X*3 coolers).

liquidctl won't even compile without it installed, and it's not a makedepend either because if you uninstall python-smbus-git after building and installing liquidctl-git, you also get errors.

Here's part of the compile error:

though there are also like 200 lines about the same error preceeding it.

And then if you try to run liquidctl-git after uninstalling python-smbus-git, you get:

So yeah, this is obviously a hard dependency now. I've run liquidctl-git for months (and compiled it manually before that), this was never needed, but it is now.
