I seem to be having a different issue than what others are describing. Suddenly today, I an unable to start the launcher without getting a generic "An unexpected issue occurred" message. Here's what I get in the terminal:

$ minecraft-launcher
sh: line 1: orca: command not found
Created browser window for reuse: 0x1600004
[34399:34552:0308/133050.212343:ERROR:mime_util_xdg.cc(137)] Invalid mime.cache file does not contain null prior to ALIAS_LIST_OFFSET=44
[34399:34552:0308/133055.416488:ERROR:cast_crl.cc(443)] CRL - Verification failed.

Edit: I found that deleting the webcache2 directory in the .minecraft directory fixes the issue for me.

The package version is the version of the launcher bootstrap - the part that actually downloads and updates the launcher.

That means the version number of the actual launcher (2.x.xxx) is different from the version here (9xx+) on a fundamental level, and should not be compared.

The package is outdated only when the bootstrap version you get here is different from the bootstrap version you would get from minecraft.net when using the raw tarball.

Thanks BombStrike, the fix worked great, installed with yaourt.

You're trying to install a source tarball (i.e. the one you downloaded on the AUR) instead of the actual package (ending in .pkg.tar.xz).

Adding noextract=("minecraft.jar") before the build () line worked but now when I run: pacman -U minecraft-latest-15.src.tar.gz I get this: loading packages... error: missing package metadata in minecraft-latest-15.src.tar.gz error: 'minecraft-latest-15.src.tar.gz': invalid or corrupted package

<deleted-account> commented on 2012-01-20 14:59 (UTC)

Because file -bi reports them as application/zip...

BombStrike commented on 2012-01-20 13:55 (UTC)

Added the noextract line. But seriously, why the hell would one want to extract a .jar file? They must have a good reason to add it to makepkg but still...

@Campaigner444 just add noextract=("minecraft.jar") before the build () line and it installs just fine here.

<deleted-account> commented on 2012-01-20 11:44 (UTC)

same error as Campaigner444 reported. Please fix PKGBUILD. Thank you.

when I do a makepkg -s I get: ==> Making package: minecraft latest-15 (Mon Jan 16 19:14:35 EST 2012) ==> Checking runtime dependencies... ==> Checking buildtime dependencies... ==> Retrieving Sources... -> Found minecraft -> Downloading minecraft.jar... % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0 100 89406 100 89406 0 0 254k 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 700k -> Found minecraft.desktop -> Found minecraft.png -> Found minecraft.install ==> Validating source files with md5sums... minecraft ...

Is it tying to extract the minecraft.jar? Is it supposed to?

+noextract=("minecraft.jar")

I suggest generating another pkg for the mcvtool. Then you have the option ;-) When you rename the shellscript to minecraft-version or similar, you can even have both coexist, I think.
