Hey mate thanks for letting me know an I appreciate it!

2:08 am here but I thought fuck it I might as well fix it now, better late then never os I'll just do it now haha

Hi! Version 1.1.2-1 fails to build if the $pkgdir isn't clean because the ln -s commands encounter existing symlinks from previous attempts, causing the build to crash during the package() function.

The fix is to add the -f (force) flag to both symlink commands to allow overwriting. Please consider updating the link section to:

```bash # Link to binary install -dm755 "$pkgdir/usr/bin" ln -sf "/usr/bin/electroncastlab" "$pkgdir/opt/$_pkgname/electron" ln -sf "/opt/$_pkgname/$pkgname" "$pkgdir/usr/bin/$pkgname"

Thanks for maintaining the package!

Hey @lebotdufutur thank you for looking out for my package and the flag but that update is a refresher update that updates the binaries with newer dependencies, this isn't a main update the AUR package will use. :)

I will remove the flag.

@gameslayer, it is working now and all is good thx.

Hey @TwistedXenos the latest update will fix this :)

After the update I am getting /usr/bin/netflix: line 4: electron: command not found, tried reinstalling also and same thing.

I think I tried removing the cache previously and it didn't work, anyway thanks to your comment about yay I installed paru and tried with that and it worked, thanks

Hey that looks like yay is trying to do some unusual stuff haha

try and remove electron-castlab-bin-debug and libelectron-debug because they're not needed, clear your pacman cache and try again

I have some issues with this package. yay started notifying me that my version was newer than the one in aur (I think it was 1.1.0 against the version before 1.0.15-1), so I uninstalled it and now I can't install it anymore. The error I get is

I tried doing a clean build, removing the folders under debug from the message, installing electron-castlab-bin first, removing netflix folders under ~.local and ~.config to no avail

Thank you, it is working now. Life is good.
