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.

After updating to python 3.12 you'll need to rebuild all the packages again so it opens again, If you are in hurry, try cleaning paru/yay cache or do a cleanbuild yourself, But I'll publish at least a -2 update for all the packages so everyone is building them again automatically, and I'll try to apply the changes suggested to the PKGBUILDs as well. ;)

after system update i am not able to build anymore proton-vpn-gtk-app without:

@Musikolo is not an issue with python-importlib-metadata pkg coze it has already been installed since the 1st install!!

'' I hope it works! ''

do you have any solutions?

@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.

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.
