A PKGBUILD for libunique.

In case that perl-gtk2-unique prevents the perl update to 5.28, please remove perl-gtk2-unique

pacman -Rdd perl-gtk2-unique

then do the update and then install it again

$YOUR_FAVORITE_AUR_HELPER -S perl-gtk2-unique

In case there is a better solution, please let me know! :)

Kastilo, when you installed the perl update you ignored the output of pacman.

$ grep "WARNING: ..s" detect-old-perl-modules.sh -A1
                printf "WARNING: '%s' contains data from at least %d packages which will NOT be used by the installed perl interpreter.\n" "$dir" "$pkgcount"
                printf " -> Run the following command to get a list of affected packages: pacman -Qqo '%s'\n" "$dir"

Follow this steps. Don't worry about the issue mentioned at the end of the comment, it's already fixed.

When trying to run shutter I get this error

Can't locate Gnome2.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Gnome2 module) (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.30/site_perl /usr/share/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.30/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.30/core_perl /usr/share/perl5/core_perl) at /usr/bin/shutter line 37.

@nv2k: When building packages yay usually asks which of them to clean build, so you could have just told yay to clean build perl-gtk2-unique (also necessary for other perl packages which need a rebuild) instead of deleting all the cache. ;)

Thanks, guys. I had to delete the package because it was already built.

I did:

yay -Scc

Then I tried again and it installed correctly.

What exactly fails to work for you? For me it worked even by using a discontinued AUR helper.

$ grep perl-gtk2-unique /var/log/pacman.log | tail -4
[2019-06-12 11:24] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -Rdd perl-gtk2-unique'

I just notice now, that I've forgotten to edit pkgrel from 24 to 24.1.

@nv2k: What exactly isn't working?

Guys, PhotonX solution isn't working with the new perl 5.30.

Any ideas?

Re: the "installing perl (5.28.0-1) breaks dependency 'perl<5.27' required by perl-gtk2-unique" error, @PhotonX's solution worked for me (thanks!). The first update updated a gazillion (336!) packages which took a few minutes. Afterward, I reinstalled "perl-gtk2-unique" using pacaur, and all appeared to be well. :-)

Regarding aur-general archives 2018-June/034142 and aur-general archives 2018-June/0341449 it isn't necessary.

OTOH taking a look at 'pacman -Qm' I even found something like soundhelix commit [8f2fa8be973e](https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=perl-gtk2-unique&id=8f2fa8be973e).

My preference is as Vrakfall commented on 2018-08-06 13:44, "Bumping for updates on Arch stable only seems like a good idea".

However, not incrementing the pkgrel obviously is correct.

Right, I didn't notice the URL difference in your comment, sorry. :)

Concerning the bump, see my discussion with Vrakfall. Also, due to the version check perl-gtk2-unique needs to be removed such that perl can be installed at all, so the bump is not necessary, right?
