After updating, the service failed to start because lyrionmusicserver.install creates/checks for a "logitechms" group+user but chowns to "lyrionms" (which never gets created) - see my earlier comment. I also found a second, unrelated bug: slimserver-vendor/CPAN/update-config.sh fetches config.guess/config.sub from it.savannah.gnu.org for aarch64 builds and copies the result into place with no error checking. That mirror returns intermittent 502s, and a failed fetch silently corrupts config.guess, breaking ./configure for expat. Since buildme.sh's build_all loop aborts on the first failed module, this also silently skips every module listed after the failed one - in my case XML::Parser and several others never got built at all, causing "Parser.pm and Expat.pm versions don't match" at runtime.

Fix for both: in .install, groupadd/useradd should create "lyrionms" (not "logitechms"), and add a post_upgrade() that repeats the chown on every update. In the PKGBUILD's prepare(), patch update-config.sh to use the system's own automake/libtool config.guess/config.sub instead of fetching them over the network.

Happy to open a PR against https://github.com/FabioLolix/PKGBUILD with both fixes if useful.

After the latest update, the service failed because it is configured to run as lyrionms, but that system user did not exist:

Failed to determine credentials for user 'lyrionms'
status=217/USER

Creating the user and group fixed the first issue:

sudo groupadd --system lyrionms
sudo useradd --system \
  --gid lyrionms \
  --home-dir /opt/lyrionmusicserver-git \
  --no-create-home \
  --shell /usr/bin/nologin \
  lyrionms

The service then failed because several directories were still owned by the previous lyrionmusicserver user. Changing ownership resolved this:

sudo chown -R lyrionms:lyrionms \
  /opt/lyrionmusicserver-git/Logs \
  /opt/lyrionmusicserver-git/cache \
  /opt/lyrionmusicserver-git/prefs \
  /opt/lyrionmusicserver-git/CPAN \
  /opt/lyrionmusicserver-git/Plugins

After restarting the service, it started successfully and remained stable:

sudo systemctl restart lyrionmusicserver-git
systemctl is-active lyrionmusicserver-git

This appears to be an incomplete migration of the service account and directory ownership to lyrionms.

Recent update to perl has caused problems (here and with logitechmediaserver.git).

I modified the PKGBUILD ... just in case:

depends=('perl>=5.40' 'perl<=5.52' glibc gcc-libs zlib)

and the build errors out:

You are right. This is not consistent. User and group must be the same everywhere. I hope for a fix soon.

Hello, I noticed the git version, lyrionmusicserver.install file creates and chowns user and owner as 'logitechms'.

The bin version however creates and chowns user and owner as 'lyrionms'.

And the service file for both bin and git has user and group as 'lyrionmusicserver'. Should the service file have the same user and owner as the install file?

Curious why the two install files have different user:group?
