Thanks for the update. Now the p4 installs fine.

Sorry for putting out another pkgrel. I suspect that because the original file host may cause issues with the checksum, paru would have already downloaded a corrupt file. I've added the pkgrel to the downloaded package file name, so paru should download a new file next time.

I am still not able to install

I apologize, it looks like filehost.perforce.com is the preferred download portal. I've updated the PKGBUILD. Thank you for flagging, TTimo! https://github.com/orgs/Homebrew/discussions/4686#discussioncomment-6628463

Perforce looks to have made some changes to their CDN setup. This patch fixed the latest build for me, the archive checksum is unchanged:

Managed to fix it by cleaning out the cache that paru was using! Re-installed now without issue. I'm wondering if it had a corrupt p4 tgz and some permission error so it just silently failed to download the correct one

meepzh commented on 2026-04-02 12:05 (UTC)

Hm, maybe something did change, but I'm not seeing it. The last time this happened, they changed how the software was downloaded. However, when I download it through normal means, I get the same file. Is this the case for you as well? https://www.perforce.com/downloads

Hey,

The latest version isn't working for me. I'm getting validity check errors (assuming the build has been updated and the hashes don't match):
