@MBK AUR maintainers are not obliged to bump the pkgbuild for every rebuild

As one arch based distro maintainer said : "Sadly we need to trust the aur maintainer, that they bump the package, if this is required."

Those distro maintainers can bump the pkgrel by .1 i.e. pkgver=1.1 for rebuilding without having problems with the repo and can check packages with lddd from devtools and checkrebuild from rebuild-detector

Anyway I would add a depends on libicuuc.so

@dbermond I think the proper way of doing this, is for you to bump the package version to +1 -> "-2", this way it will trigger the rebuild for everyone automatically.

FYI, There are also some other arch based distros that include your package and it is broken for them too. -> Much easier for you to trigger the rebuild, than unknowing users having to complain on several arch based distro forums until their maintainers realize what is happening. As one arch based distro maintainer said : "Sadly we need to trust the aur maintainer, that they bump the package, if this is required."

I also had to manually install qt5-quickcontrols2 and qt5-graphicaleffects manually for this to work.

Should this packages be added to the build dependencies ?

@dbermond time to re-add a pinned comments about the usual errors

@rufusreal there is no issue. You missed the icu 75 rebuild and need to rebuild both libpdfium and megasync against icu 75. Remember that it's user responsibility to take care of the installed AUR packages and do the required rebuilds.

There are some issues with Megasync, I cannot open the app. Launching from terminal

megasync: error while loading shared libraries: libicuuc.so.74: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

@serafeimg, Please read how to install packages from AUR: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository and https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_helpers. The MEGAsync folder is a consequence of cloning the megasync git repo (https://github.com/meganz/MEGAsync.git) which is the source for this AUR package as defined in PKGBUILD.

Downloading the prebuilt binary is not a solution for this package because here it's built from source, it's just an alternative way of getting megasync. And downloading the binary by yourself is also not an optimal solution because it prevents automatic updates. If you want to use the megasync binary, it's better to use https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/megasync-bin which takes the binary from exactly the same source as you did but does this in a way which is better suited for Arch.

When I clone the repo with the command: git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/megasync.git

no file or folder with the name MEGAsync exist.

The solution for me was to download and install the package with: wget https://mega.nz/linux/repo/Arch_Extra/x86_64/megasync-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst && sudo pacman -U \"$PWD/megasync-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst\"

as instructed here: https://mega.io/desktop#download

With the latest update, I get the following error during installation/update:

==> Validating source files with sha256sums...
    MEGAsync ... NOT FOUND
    meganz-sdk ... Skipped
    010-megasync-libpdfium.patch ... Passed
    020-megasync-ffmpeg.patch ... Passed
==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!

I guess the cause is that MEGAsync (obtained by cloning a git repo tag) is a folder, and it does not have a sha256 sum. Previously, it was marked to be skipped from the check, just like the magenz-sdk folder. What is the intended behavior here?

@TheOmegaCarrot, in my case, I had to install qt5-quickcontrols2 and qt5-graphicaleffects which were not listed as dependencies. Afterward, everything worked fine.
