Arch Linux User Repository

Glad that it's working on your end. 👍️

And you are very welcome, thanks for taking the time to point out the mistakes here.

Yeah I noticed the message and I already did the same changes as your patch locally (and have setup my new bridge wich seems to be fully working, so I assume your patch would work as well 👍)

Thank you for maintaining these packages BTW! 🙏

If you like, you can try to apply this patch and see what happens:

Hi @nicolai_d.

Oh my mistake, I obviously botched the transition to the new split mautrix-meta (= facebook) and mautrix-instagram.

So, basically, I maintain the AUR PKGBUILD for mautrix-meta, and what tulir has announced [1] is that the code which used to be shared between Instagram and Facebook messengers is now diverging too much to keep the code together. However, there is indeed still only one upstream repo for mautrix-meta and two different sets of build instructions, so the transition is still in progress. However the errors you point out are my own and I'll fix them as soon as push is restored to AUR.

[1] https://mau.fi/blog/2026-07-mautrix-release/#new-instagram-bridge

It looks like this is a copy of the mautrix-meta package. It does indeed install the mautrix-instagram binary from the mautrix-meta repo, but the systemd service, the sysuser and tmpfile seems to all still be the mautrix-meta ones.

I assume this can't be updated right now because of the aur push freeze, right ?
