@m40601 Thanks for reporting the bug and thanks for confirming that offpunk works as expected!

The problem with the incompatible ‘xdg’ modules should be resolved now. Please test.

Wow, that was fast, :-) ...

I tested, and can confirm it is working fine now. Offpunk seem to be creating and making use of the "correct" xdg folders:

- ~/.local/share/offpunk/, for lists, history etc

- ~/.config/offpunk/, for tofu, certificates, etc

- ~/.cache/offpunk/, for cache stuff

It doesnt create any ~/.offpunkt folder anymore.

Superb work kseistrup reporting this to ploum. Thanks for your effort and commitment.

@m040601, I have filed an issue over at the source repo: https://tildegit.org/ploum/AV-98-offline/issues/6

@m040601 Thanks for reporting this. I missed the dependency of xdg, sorry for that.

It is an unfortunate situation. We have two conflicting packages here:

extra/python-pyxdg 0.27-4
aur/python-xdg 5.1.1

The both install as xdg, but their APIs are different and incompatible, and unfortunately the author of offpunk has decided to go with the latter. It is not the first package I have encountered that depended on python-xdg. It's a “What do you want the most” situation.

I don't think there's much I can do other that to update PKGBUILD with the dependency on python-xdg. We could also try to convince the author to use the python-pyxdg module instead.

Meanwhile, I will probably install offpunk in a virtual environment, but that's not an ideal situation.

If anyone has suggestions, please step forward.

PS: Another unfortunate thing is that the xdg dependency is optional in offpunk. If xdg is not found, offpunk will work around it. I suppose I could create a diff that edited offpunk such that it will always use the workaround. I'll have to look into it later.

Meanwhile, you could edit /usr/lib/python3.10/sitepackages/offpunk.py around line 87:

85  ## Config directories
86  try:
87      import xdg
88      _CACHE_PATH = os.path.join(xdg.xdg_cache_home().resolve(), "offpunk/")

such that python cannot find the module, e.g.:

87      import ZZZxdg

Further investigation discovered that "offpunk-git" clashes with "python-pyxdg".

python-pyxdg is an official Arch package. It is not an AUR thingy. It is a dependency required by other important official packages like khal (calendars) etc. See them all here, https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/python-pyxdg/

If one experiments removing "python-pyxdg" (and packages that need it) from the system, then offpunk starts.

Still, I'm not sure if this should be counted as a bug in offpunk itself. Or some change that should be made to the PKGBUILD. Please advise.

For a couple of days now (4? 5?), I can't start offpunk. Getting this error message:

Already tried to make sure to restart by completely deleting any folders or files containing "offpunk" or "av-98" in:

• rm -rf ~/.cache/offpunk

• rm -rf ~/.cache/av-98

• rm -rf ~/.local/share/offpunk

• rm -rf ~/.local/share/av-98

• rm -rf ~/.config/offpunk

• rm -rf ~/.config/av-98

Still the same error message. As I am not a programmer and dont understand python, I'm not sure if this is a problem with this PKGBUILD or with the upstream git development.

Do you have any advice before I report it upstream to the developer ?

@m040601, thanks for reporting this.

I believe your problem is caused because the offpunk stuff was installed through the av-98-offline package while that package was still broken — i.e., after upstream had renamed everything.

The av-98-offline package is in the process of being merged into offpunk-git. When it will happen is beyond my control, but I suggest you remove the av-98-offline package and install offpunk-git instead. Meanwhile, I can upload a new PKGBUILD that makes offline-git conflict with av-09-offline.

Cheers.

Thanks for making these PKGBUILDS. Really interesting stuff for gemini and offline.

Probably needs some cleanup and a "conflicts" tag (with av-98/offline) in the PKGBUILD. Or just remove the "av-98-offline" from the AUR. Not 100% sure what the plans of the upstream github author are.

I got this trying to install "offpunk-git"

Then I "pacman -Rns av-98-offline" and everything went clean.

Please notice that upstream has changed its name to offpunk. The active repo for this package is now offpunk-git.
