Thanks for the quick reply :). I will look into it in the evening.

This can happen if the download fails for some reason. Can you try removing any cached files from your AUR helpers cache directory and trying again?

When I try to install it, I can get through the downloads, but there are loads of Download Errors (7) while doing so. In the end it aborts with: Downloaded all files! wrestool: /var/tmp/pamac-build-maxsak/ltspice/src/ltspice/XVIIx64.exe: file has a size of 0 convert: improper image header /var/tmp/pamac-build-maxsak/ltspice/src/ltspice.ico' @ error/icon.c/ReadICONImage/236. convert: no images defined/var/tmp/pamac-build-maxsak/ltspice/src/ltspice.png' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3298

I waited about 10 to 15 mins then I gave up. Thank you so much for the quick response and the download indicator addition. its great and much appreciated.

The download takes a long time as many files are downloaded. On my quad core CPU it takes around 10 minutes for a fresh download, with a good internet connection. How long did you wait? I can add some kind of download indicator to determine whether the process is actually stuck.

Hi, when I try to compile the package either by using makepkg or yay, the process gets stuck on: Checking cache and downloading using 4 threads. what is the problem and how can I resolve it? PS. my computer is old and dual core with only one thread per core. I don't even know if this is relevant.

thank you so much

The Script first downloads a Release.log(.gz) file from the LTSpice Field Update server. That file contains a list of every file required to run LTSpice together with a CRC32 (i think) checksum. The PKGBUILD then proceeds to download every file listed in the release.log, but skips those files that exist on disk an have a matching CRC32 checksum.

What exact error are you experiencing? Are you using an AUR Helper that can't fetch the PKGBUILD or is there a problem with the PKGBUILD itself?

Hi ! I've try to update but the PKGBUILD seems to be unreadable. Is there some trouble with the PKGBUILD or with my installation ? While reading the latter, I can't figure out which url the script will download the package to. Could someone explain it to me ( for the sake of curiosity)? Thank you in advance for your explanations and for your work.

I've updated this on a forked git repository. If the original maintainer wants to put it back into his repo I'll gladly give back control!

Also, the kind of packaging is rather nasty. To circumvent the installing person to click buttons in the install dialog, an extracted version of the software is stored in a github repository which gets pulled by this PKGBUILD. It obviously would be nicer to have the installer push its buttons automatically, either by extracting from the .exe or by using something like autohotkey on wine.
