solution for paru users:

paru -R protonvpn
paru -R protonvpn-gui
paru -R protonvpn-cli
paru -S protonvpn

Can I have co-maintainer on this so I can help push the changes required to get rid of the generic tests in the package?

@evorster Suggest reporting the issue to any other packages you find. The fix is simple and takes only a few minutes for maintainers to apply. You should also attempt to report the issue upstream to the package source. Search old issues first, in case it has already been reported. If so, add a comment or emoji or something to let developers know you are also affected by the issue.

If you are unable to edit the PKGBUILD for your own personal builds, pacman has an --overwrite option.

This package conflicts with espeak-phonemizer, exactly because of those generic non-package specific files.

A quick fix to fix the generic files in /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/tests/ issue (↗ patch to PKGBUILD):

It might be possible to do it better.

Please review and apply.

Thanks for maintaining!

This package installes generic, non-package specific, files, which makes it likely to conflict with other packages:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
python-protonvpn-nm-lib: /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/tests/__init__.py exists in filesystem (owned by kicost-git)
python-protonvpn-nm-lib: /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/tests/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-311.opt-1.pyc exists in filesystem (owned by kicost-git)
python-protonvpn-nm-lib: /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/tests/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-311.pyc exists in filesystem (owned by kicost-git)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Please use pacman -Ql python-protonvpn-nm-lib to find out the complete lists of such generic files, and make sure they will not be installed.

I doubt that anything under /usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/tests/ is needed at all. Please check if it can be omitted or moved into a python-protonvpn-nm specific directory.

Regards and thanks for maintaining!

ETA: Fixed by blowing away cache and config directories, uninstalling and reinstalling, then logging in from shell with protonvpn-cli login <user>

Please rename source line to rename downloaded source file to include pkgname and pkgver in its name:

source=("${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz::https://github.com/ProtonVPN/protonvpn-nm-lib/archive/refs/tags/$pkgver.tar.gz")

The current source package contains linux-cli package instead of the nm-lib package.

PKGBUILD: line 20: cd: protonvpn-nm-lib-3.13.0: No such file or directory

Wires got crossed somewhere. maybe automation.

I just sent you an email, but I write it here as well.

Please, consider removing the conflict array. I think it doesn't make sense to include both the version requirements in the depend arrays of protonvpn-gui and protonvpn-cli, and the conflict array here as well.
