Arch Linux User Repository

sha256sum check for arm64 is now skipped, as I don't use this arch and I don't want to download the file with each release.

If you use it, feel free to provide me with the sums.

@begin-theadventu thank you so much for sticking with me through this and fixing the issue! In thinking about it, I wonder if this has to do with the fact that my default shell is zsh instead of bash, but I didn't dig that far into it honestly. Regardless, thanks again!

@ajgraves Thank you very much! I appreciate it.

@begin-theadventu the error is on rm, not mv, so changing that line wouldn't do much for me.

I was able to fix the error I'm getting by changing line 62 (the rm command) from:

rm -dr usr & rm AppRun $_pkgname.desktop $_pkgname.png .DirIcon

To:

rm -dr usr AppRun $_pkgname.desktop $_pkgname.png .DirIcon

To summarize, I removed the & rm from the command, which not only is unnecessary to include, it's incorrect syntax (it should be && instead of a single &).

Can you try replacing the mv line (64) with:

mv "$srcdir"/squashfs-root/* "$pkgdir/opt/$_pkgname" or 64-enter 65-mv, and let me know if it fixes the problem?

@begin-theadventu I completely removed the directory from cache (I use yay for reference) and started over, and I'm still getting the error.

It's erroring out on line 62, where you remove several items from the squashfs-root directory, which is what you get from extracting the appimage file.

Honestly it's not even yay's fault, I can't even use makepkg using your PKGBUILD file, it still errors out in the same spot:

==> Removing existing $pkgdir/ directory...
==> Entering fakeroot environment...
==> Starting package()...
mv: cannot stat 'usr': No such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().
    Aborting...

That is output directly from makepkg, so that removes any aur helper from the equation. If I comment out line 62 in your PKGBUILD and run makepkg, it works perfectly.

Am I really the only one having this issue? I'm not trying to be accusatory, just trying to understand. I maintain tutanota-desktop-bin and do similar things with the extracted appimage, however I haven't run in to any issues with removing things from the extracted image. My PKGBUILD file: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=tutanota-desktop-bin

@ajgraves I just tried again making it and I didn't have any problem, neither did the Chaotic-AUR, log.

Maybe try deleting the notesnook-bin folder in your AUR helper cache.

Notesnook-bin is not able to update, erroring out:

mv: cannot stat 'usr': No such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().
    Aborting...
 -> error making: notesnook-bin-exit status 4
 -> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required:
notesnook-bin - exit status 4

@ajgraves Yes. I previously linked my PKGBUILD that repackages it.

I'll move it here as I just adopted the package.

Honestly, the moderation should add a new rule that all packages that install only the AppImage must have the suffix -appimage.

For example, upscayl-bin installs only the AppImage even though .rpm. and .deb are available.

Honest question here, what is the difference between this package and the package notesnook-appimage? Both seem to do the same thing, installing the appimage.
