The only difference between 8b7a4b6d33380299512bef103331635c9e9855ae0712cbe4d9ccbec2c2499c77318502aa3e0259451ef32c414ef5c8fbc103513bcd924570097dd866934cbe10 (PKGBUILD) and 558981d6b32098076ef0775a748da349941551352cbef836e37310e43e5cd6072df3dec6fa2418a9abecc7729ef0c1c6869e3168d05a3d76bea46c6eb8c4e82c (upstream) is yet again a modification time update of the VERSION file.

I'm now seeing 558981d6b32098076ef0775a748da349941551352cbef836e37310e43e5cd6072df3dec6fa2418a9abecc7729ef0c1c6869e3168d05a3d76bea46c6eb8c4e82c for looking-glass-B6.tar.gz. It doesn't help that they don't publish the expected checksum themselves anywhere.

Currently fails to build, downgrading binutils to 2.39 on Arch worked ($ downgrade binutils). Issue is related to a change with libbfd.a that binutils made in 2.40.

@xiretza: So far I've not. It only happened twice over the whole lifespan thus far afaik so I haven't bothered. I don't know about others.

That said, checking the artifact now, the checksum still seems to be the same. I downloaded the artifact fresh (twice to confirm) and it still matches the checksum of PKGBUILD 2:B6-2. It seems it hasn't changed at the moment. Can you recheck on your end?

xiretza commented on 2023-01-15 19:19 (UTC)

Looks like it changed again, now it's 25d720c7dd2711c86ebde73c6f4db990b60d4015d075ca4b33b60e16937bf700... Has anyone complained to upstream about this yet?

I have compared the website artifact against the sourcecode and I've been unable to find any differences (maybe the artifact VERSION file changed but that isn't relevant/dangerous here) so I have updated the checksum. The update should be pushed to the AUR shortly.

@untwisted; that is possible if the upstream artifact has changed. This should generally never just randomly happen and if it does, it can be an indication of a malicious actor having been able to either change the artifact or intercept yours somehow.

Now I highly doubt that has actually happened, this seems way to niche of an item to target so that means upstream probably repackaged it for some reason on another. That said, I will not just blindly update the checksum without verifying the new artifact but I'm going to have to do that later.

Looks like the sha512sum is incorrect? Installation was failing so I downloaded the package from the Looking Glass site and ran a sha512 manually and got 8b7a4b6d33380299512bef103331635c9e9855ae0712cbe4d9ccbec2c2499c77318502aa3e0259451ef32c414ef5c8fbc103513bcd924570097dd866934cbe10.

Modifying the PKGBUILD to this SHA value enabled the build to work.
