Okay, that is weird. I did it three times starting each time with an empty directory.
I am running python-3.12 but I will have a look and see if there are any older directories lying around that have not got cleared out.
Thanks for your help. At least I know it is working okay for you so there has to be something wrong with my setup somewhere.
I wonder if somehow there was an "old" build there for python 3.11 - probably not but scratching my head trying to come up with explanation.
If so, a clean build starting in an empty directory should work fine as it will pick up current version of python.
Ah ok - I will look into that. I did this and it worked fine too:
$ rm -rf python-pynotify*
$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/python-pynotify.git
cd python-pynotify
makepkg
then check "ls pkg/python-pynotify/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/pynotify" - it is fine
and package
pacman -Ql -p python-pynotify-1.2.4-1-any.pkg.tar.zst |grep -v share
It is fine too.
Your method is different to mine. I will give it a go.
The way I was doing it was as per the Arch User Repository wiki page. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/python-pynotify.git
cd python-pynotify
makepkg -sirc
pacman -U python-pynotify-1.2.4-1-any.pkg.tar.zst
Thanks for letting me know - I am trying to reproduce this but it works for me. How are you building the package (oops you said using makepkg - never mind)
Here's what I did :
wget https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/python-pynotify.tar.gz
tar xf python-pynotify.tar.gz
cd python-pynotify
makepkg
...
Then:
ls pkg/python-pynotify/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/pynotify
Which looks fine. Check the package:
pacman -Ql -p python-pynotify-1.2.4-1-any.pkg.tar.zst
Also looks fine.
I am trying to build this as a dependency for wg-client. When I build wg-client it finds python-pynotify is present (does not flag it up as missing). However then running wg-client gives the message that python-pynotify is missing.
I then ran pacman -Ql python-pynotify and the only files installed are under /usr/share.
I also checked the contents of the python-pynotify-1.2.4-1-any.pkg.tar.zst file created after running makepkg -sirc and this also only has the /usr/share directory contents. I have tried building python-pynotify from scratch three times and each time I have got the same result of only the /usr/share files.
There are no files for /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages in the pkg.tar.zst file
Am I doing something wrong in my package building or is there a bug somewhere?
