Arch Linux User Repository

I've added https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-proton-vpn-local-agent-bin as optional dependency, I worked on https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-proton-vpn-local-agent a bit to build it from source, but I have a weird issue with it so I'm not depending this package on that by default for now.

For those who know a bit about rust packaging, the issue with building from source for me is: - If I copy the build so file using cp command it works fine - If I package it (using install in PKGBUILD) and put the file there by installing the package using pacman, It doesn't work! although the files have the same checksum.

I have no idea why is that and am open to any help on https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-proton-vpn-local-agent package

@shoryuken thank you, that worked!

@ali.molaei I'm not sure of technicalities of dependencies, but if you cannot force network-manager-applet as a dependency I think you should at least pin some comment explaining that getting it might fix issues. As it stands I accidentally found the solution at other package page https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/protonvpn-cli#comment-951908, and only since it's the newest one.

@Musikolo It was / is already installed. (5.1.0-2)

FWIW, IDK if this matters, but along with Python 3.12, a ton of other Python packages were updated but this was not one of them.

There is a python-importlib_resources packages that is not installed. Again, IDK if that matters.

@melioratio, my guess is that the python-importlib-metadata package is needed. Please install it to see if that works. In such a case, it should be added as dependency to the PKGBUILD file.

I hope it works!

Regards.

Updated to python 3.12 just now and it busted PVPN, I'm guessing because it's still looking for 3.11.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

i had the same problem but i resolved it. i had killswitch enabled so that caused an additional issue. i had to let it enabled and open protonvpn.

Sorry, looks like paru was only updating the proton-vpn-gtk-app package and not its dependencies. Clearing the cache and reinstalling the app worked.

@5hayanB How are you installing/updating your packages? Shouldn't the logger package be installed/updated automatically? You need to update all the dependencies of this package to fix the issues you are facing I think

Thank you @Musikolo. I updated python-proton-vpn-logger and now getting a new error.

@5hayanB, it looks like you don't have the python-proton-vpn-logger dependency installed. Please make sure you have all the dependencies up-to-date too.

I hope it helps!

Regards.

Getting the following error when running protonvpn-app.
