Arch Linux User Repository

thanks @Xavier, I thought that doing makepkg -si in a clean directory would have been enough but it seems that it wasn't. I installed devtools, pulled a clean version of the git repo, ran "pkgctl build", followed by "makepkg -si" which seems to have worked. I usually do everything through paru (to my own detriment) and didn't know about dirty chroot.

Hi @hha, maybe is your rust instalation (use rust, no rustup, e.g.) or try in a clean chroot or use the chaotic-aur repository

I've been getting very unhelpful build errors when attempting to build the latest version (2.35.0-1). I've tried clean builds with fresh git directories, but it doesn't go any further nor give any additional help as to what's going on. I can't see anything related on the git repo issues for mozillavpn, if anyone has an idea what's causing this, it'd help a lot:

[ 15%] Generating prod/manifest.json

@javiens2debian Don't worry at all, and I didn't mean to be rude in my response (I don't know too why is the origin of the issue you have). AUR chats are only for packaging things, you can also look for help in Archlinux Forums

@Xavier. Sure it is not a packaging issue. Sorry, I was looking for help. I have Installed the AUR twice and upgrade it before and everything is OK. But I do not understand the error message. Bye

Hi @jeviens2debian and why do you think that is a packaging issue? Otherwise open a bug in https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/mozilla-vpn-client

Good morning, since two versions I had an error message when I activate the connexion. [20.03.2026 19:23:05.404] (AccessibleNotification) Debug: Erreur du service en arrière-plan. The logs are very long (about three thousand lines) I put them on my server at https://public.carmagnole.org/index.php/s/4G8q6dzs7LJw9fp

I had remove and installed again the AUR package, tried with systemctl enable and disable, disconnect and re connect, but the error is persistent. Mozilla service did not help me more than instructions above.

I hope you can do something. Best regards

Thanks @ancoron, rules added
