@ntfc I was going to go the other way (update to 9.0.1 instead of reverting back to 8.11.1).

P.S. postman are pretty bad at updating their release notes page (even after a new version is out).

If you want to revert to any previous version you can do so by cloning the aur repo and changing the version in the PKGBUILD file and using makepkg to build it (it will download and install that version for you). E.g.:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/postman-bin.git
cd postman-bin

Edit the PKGBUILD file with whatever editor you like: edit line 4 to be pkgver=8.11.1 or whatever version you like, then save and exit out of the editor and run

updpkgsums
makepkg -sif

updpkgsums will download the file and update sha for file in PKGBUILD so it will install with makepkg

Thanks all - will do some digging but in the meantime I'm happy to update the PKGBUILD with those lines removed.

P.S. I'm not sure what the original intent was with setting those files to 755 - and agree with @quangdinh.

Will do that shortly.

bruno.unna commented on 2021-09-30 09:14 (UTC)

Just to confirm the results that @quangdinh and @muffehazard get. So I guess it's not an environmental failure, but -perhaps- and environmental success. :)

Is there any information that I can provide from my environment that might be useful for you, @j.taala?

@j.taala I'm using Arch

But why do we need to chmod to 755? Not all files are executable. Why just not leave the file permission as is?

same here:

Thanks @muffehazard - hadn't seen this before you and @quangdinh raised it. Could @quangdinh and @muffehazard let me know your distro (e.g. arch, manjaro, arco, etc.) and let me know the output of 

which chmod

and

chmod --version

Thanks!

muffehazard commented on 2021-09-30 08:40 (UTC)

Having the same problem with the build as @quangdinh, commenting the mentioned 22 and 24 chmod-lines makes the build succeed. Tested with both yay and without, both result the same.

j.taala commented on 2021-09-30 08:15 (UTC)

Did a clean chroot build and it built without issue. Not sure what went wrong with your previous build @quangdinh.

quangdinh commented on 2021-09-30 07:30 (UTC)

@j.taala No helpers. Here is a screenshot of what I did: https://ibb.co/hHgZDrC

j.taala commented on 2021-09-30 07:23 (UTC)

Thanks @quangdinh - anyone else seeing the chmod error?

@quangdinh did you use an aur-helpers? (e.g. yay etc.). A chmod at that point would generally mean you don't have perms to change those files in the build dir.

It builds fine for me - I'll try a clean chroot build to see if it shows any issues there.

Got an error while trying to install this package:

Seems it's caused by line 22 and line 24, specifically the "chmod" command failed. I fixed it by removing those lines with "chmod". While doing so, I also update to version 9.0.3: https://gist.github.com/quangdinh/4191ae2c625ac36b398139c386e35937
