Starting normcap 0.4.0-1 gives me this error:

$ normcap 
16:03:48 - ERROR   - normcap:206 - [QT] qtfatalmsg - this application failed to start because no qt platform plugin could be initialized. reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

available platform plugins are: xcb, offscreen, minimalegl, vkkhrdisplay, linuxfb, minimal, vnc, eglfs.

Aborted (core dumped)

Am I doing something wrong? Looks like a missing dependency. 😕

Hi @yochananmarqos,

the new version v0.4.0 of NormCap just got released.

I think two adjustments might be necessary for the AUR package:

  1. I think prepare() is not necessary anymore (briefcase got removed as build dependency for the Python package)
  2. The path to icons and metainfo got renamed from package to bundle

Thanks a lot, @yochananmarqos! That fixed it, 0.3.15-3 works flawless! :-)

@dynobo: That's quite curious as I can't reproduce it. Either way, I removed the .gitignore now.

@yochananmarqos: I dug a bit deeper, and it's the .gitignore file that is causing the issues. If it exists and excludes src/, everything under pkg/normcap/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/normcap is also excluded from the archive normcap-..-any.pkg.tar.zst. If I delete .gitignore, everything works fine.

PS: I'm just trying to help.

@dynobo: Well, then don't use Pamac for AUR packages.

@yochananmarqos:

What does that mean?

It means, if I run pamac install normcap to install the package (like I usually do for any AUR package), the installation runs through, but if I try to start normcap afterwards, it fails with ModuleNotFoundError.

@dynobo:

if I download the PKGBUILD-files and build + install locally, it works flawless

Right, so what's the problem, then?

running the same through AUR

What does that mean?

@yochananmarqos: I'm up-to-date with Arch Stable, still I'm getting the same error as reported by @Tio and @archisman:

$ pamac list --installed | grep normcap
normcap        0.3.15-2        AUR          142,8 kB

$ normcap
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/normcap", line 5, in <module>
    from normcap.app import main
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'normcap'

Interestingly, if I download the PKGBUILD-files and build + install locally, it works flawless. But running the same through AUR results in the error above. I don't get it...

Any ideas for further testing?

I see thank you very much for the input.
