Arch Linux User Repository

Seems like this package intended to work with Python2, not Python3. So, fixing all dependencies to python2-* ones is more convenient way to deal with locale error (and any others possible).

Another way to fix the "UnicodeDecodeError" is to set encoding='UTF-8' where the open() method is invoked in Setup.py. Build compiles.

Looks like "UnicodeDecodeError" is due to a default C locale instead of a UTF8 locale. One workaround is to edit /etc/locale.gen and enable en_US.UTF8, then run locale-gen, then export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF8. Build will complete after that.

Not sure if that's in the scope of a PKGBUILD? It kind of sounds like a bug in the upstream code...

mugshot doesn't start in vanilla Arch (also using xfce4)

Here is the log from the terminal:

[thomas@arch-xfce ~]$ mugshot

accountsservice is not optional for me (using xfce4). Without it mugshot flat out refuses to run (there is a ~/.face file)

@hexdsl I'm having the same issue in a clear chroot, but not on my OS.

:(

I get the Error:

==> Starting package()...
To build mugshot you need https://launchpad.net/python-distutils-extra
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().
Aborting...
:: failed to build mugshot package(s)

but my python-distutils-extra is up to date:
pacaur -Ss python-distutils
community/python-distutils-extra 2.39-1 [installed]
Enhancements to the Python build system

Some of the other AUR packages had problem with my Anaconda installation, this package is not in conda. So I think this might not be this problem. How do I fix this?

I have updated to latest version and added accountsservice as dependency.
Also mailed maintainer - so far, no response.
Temporary pkgbuild can be found at https://github.com/fhdk/mugshot

For those who can't start `mugshot`, closing with the following error:

> GLib.Error: g-file-error-quark: Failed to open file '/home/cedric/.face': No such file or directory (4)

Installing `extra/accountsservice` fixed it for me. :) (Running with XFCE)
