Make sure to fetch the developers' signing key before building the package.

The official instructions are here. The link is also mentioned in the PKGBUILD.

If the site is blocked in your region, you'll have to work around it or trust me that this is what it says:

% gpg --auto-key-locate nodefault,wkd --locate-keys torbrowser@torproject.org

which (as of 2024-06-26) should also show this fingerprint:

EF6E 286D DA85 EA2A 4BA7  DE68 4E2C 6E87 9329 8290

If your gpg says otherwise, you may have been fed garbage.

Something else changed your $PATH (maybe ~/.profile, /etc/makepkg*, or /etc/profile.d). This package does not modify it in any way.

find: The current directory is included in the PATH environment variable, which is insecure in combination with the -execdir action of find.  Please remove the current directory from your $PATH (that is, remove ".", doubled colons, or leading or trailing colons)

@tarball Could the PKGBUILD line #98 be changed from

find . -executable -execdir chmod --verbose a+x '{}' +

to

find . -perm -u=x -execdir chmod --verbose a+x '{}' +

The current approach with -executable will not work in some case (e.g., the BUILDDIR is located on an FS mounted with noexec).

hey @tarball, you're using an incorrect ffmpeg dependency for mullvad here. It should be ffmpeg4.4 and not ffmpeg. The latest ffmpeg is not compatible with firefox-based browser. See the correct firefox dependencies listed out in extra/firefox here: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/firefox/ Due to this incompatibility, video stutters in mullvad and you can check for proper compatibility when you navigate to about:support and look under "Media". All codecs should have software decoding support, which they won't unless your system has ffmpeg4.4

This program's license is considered to be a single license under MPL-2.0, not a dual license under MPL-2.0 and GPL-3.0-or-later.

The webpage linked from the Mullvad Browser LICENSE file states it is MPL-2.0, with no mention of GPL-3.0-or-later. Furthermore, the Readme file also only specifies MPL-2.0. Additionally, the source code headers only reference MPL, with no mention of GPL.

Does anybody know how to get this working on aarch64 systems?

taflaj commented on 2025-09-03 14:39 (UTC)

Using the pinned instructions, it worked for me. Thank you!

tarball commented on 2025-09-03 08:00 (UTC)

Try importing the key manually using instructions from the pinned message. If it refuses to work for some reason, try another method recommended by Mullvad:

curl -OL https://openpgpkey.torproject.org/.well-known/openpgpkey/torproject.org/hu/kounek7zrdx745qydx6p59t9mqjpuhdf
gpg --import kounek7zrdx745qydx6p59t9mqjpuhdf

If this also doesn't help, GPG may have broken itself, or was driven into broken state by something else earlier. The simplest thing would be to move ~/.gnupg somewhere and try again.
