PSA: Upstream does not support building natively for ARM64, only cross-compiling. You can use mullvad-vpn-bin instead.

--> ALWAYS DO A CLEAN BUILD <--

This package will verify the signature of the git tag / commit. Developer keys are available here and instructions are here. See the PKGBUILD to determine which developer key you need.

Please do not create upstream issues about the AUR package, they do not support it.

Solved the problem. I just needed to delete folder electron-builder from .cache.

I tried to reinstall mullvad to have a new version. But I always get this error now. Any help?

@ian_arch: Your system is not up to date and your kernel has been EOL since last September. If you need further assistance, create a post on the Manjaro forum.

The latest version is failing for me. I'm not sure what my issue is (seems to be NPM?)can anyone help? https://gist.github.com/IanQS/c300287b65a309c1b8ade81bfe02a7e2

I seem to run into issues whenever I try to upgrade Mullvad from an existing install. Whenever I do an install on a new machine everything works as expected

@DarkThoughts: Manually remove the old gopath folder:

sudo rm -rf /var/tmp/pamac-build-*****/mullvad-vpn/src/gopath/

Latest version fails to build for me (Manjaro). https://controlc.com/73ccfd5a

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think this package (or any of its variants) should be enabling the systemd service automatically. It is common practice under Arch to let that up to the user, and perhaps display a message during the installation indicating that it should be enabled manually.

Enabling it automatically is inconsistent with the behaviour of other Arch packages - for instance, I actually don't want it to be started after I install it, because I chose to install it, no to run it.

Thanks for maintaining this package!

A unit mullvad-daemon.service isn't started automatically after system boot:

[doskanoness@archlinux ~]$ sudo systemctl status mullvad-daemon.service                                                                                                                      
○ mullvad-daemon.service - Mullvad VPN daemon

I looked through the PKGBUILD and importing these keys worked for me. I didn't have to change the trust on either of them.

$ gpg --recv-key 'EA0A77BF9E115615FC3BD8BC7653B940E494FE87'
$ gpg --recv-key '8339C7D2942EB854E3F27CE5AEE9DECFD582E984'

Package still fails to build with a clean build.

Deleting ~/.cache/yay/mullvad-vpn directory and then doing a clean build is successful.
