Here are the some of the latest lines: https://pastebin.com/WFb1yn36
We are specifically looking for lines with "HostsFileService" in it.
There are 3 of them in there.
Do you get prompted for a password?
No.

Hi all, I've installed the package and created a new site. I tried to start the site but Local complained about no access to /etc/hosts. I've changed the permissions of /etc/hosts to rw for all, created a new site but I'm still getting the same error:
Uh-oh! Could note update hosts file Local ran into a problem when trying to update the hosts file. Please ensure that the hosts file is not locked by anti-virus.
Then I found out that the error is not uncommon: https://localwp.com/community/t/uh-oh-could-not-update-hosts-file/2149 but no solution...
Any other ideas how can I fix it?
gpg --recv-keys F3599FF828C67298
@duhbLow7, thanks that worked!
5.3.3 is out, when can we expect an update of this package?
ajshakib a couple new versions have come out since your last update. We are on 5.3.3-1 now.
Kunda did you try:
gpg --recv-keys F3599FF828C67298
Failed installing the nettle6 dependency:
==> Verifying source file signatures with gpg...
nettle-3.4.1.tar.gz ... FAILED (unknown public key F3599FF828C67298)
==> ERROR: One or more PGP signatures could not be verified!
Failed to build nettle6
Manjaro 20.0
@mijari Can confirm. Just installed on Manjaro 19.0.2 using yay. Worked out of the box, didn't have to do anything.
Also thank you @ajshakib for making this available to everyone.
