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.

Package still fails to build with a clean build.

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

I'm getting this message when building

Removing old Rust build artifacts

EDIT: Running rustup update stable or rustup default nightly && rustup update fixed it.

Package still fails to build for me. I get the following error:

Thanks, I did that. But there's a new error. I tried uninstalling and re-installing, but got the same error.

Tried installing mullvad-vpn-bin and that did work.

@manja2: I've re-implemented a fix for that, but you'll have to manually remove the gopath directory first:

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

Can't update. Fails during build.

During updating to 2022.1-1 the missing developer key belongs to Oskar. Hopefully this will save others doing the same trial and error exercise as me!

BTW is there a simple way to identify which one is missing? The only clue I had was 4B986EF5222BA1B810230C602F391DE6B00D619C

Edit: Sorry just seen it listed in PKGBUILD!

Why does makepkg -Cc fail to do a proper clean up? I only see this issue with this package (so far). Is it a makepkg bug or something that can be fixed in the PKGBUILD? Do we need files in src folder to have read-only permissions?

Clean build error:

error: target not found: libxcrypt-compat
 -> error fetching mullvad-vpn: fatal: destination path 'mullvad-vpn' already exists and is not an empty directory. 
     context: exit status 128

What worked for me was to delete the ~/.cache/yay/mullvad-vpn directory.
