You may notice that the official repositories have yet to package python-installer 1.0.1+. We require that version due to a bug that blocks upgrades, related to symlinks.

To get this package to build, simply bump python-installer yourself:

  1. Fetch the PKGBUILD for python-installer. You can do this through a helper (e.g. paru -G python-installer) or by simple cloning (git clone https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/python-installer.git).
  2. Open the PKGBUILD file and change line 8 to pkgver=1.0.1. Replace line 39 with b2sums=('9101f90e108894c675b605123a372b45b43b4720fb1ac2eee18ea15d7759e8e1e0adeccc0da006fb3bba25e5094310158206182527ff82249a3aecacf08fcb39') (or update the checksum yourself).
  3. cd to the directory for python-installer's PKGBUILD and run makepkg -si.

This line needs double quotes otherwise it won't replace ${pkgver}

Having an issue with the font file, not clear where, but - for me - there was a certificate error with www.modelscope.cn.

I can download the file ok from a browser, but all my certificates are up to date... ended up modifying the PKGBUILD to point to a local copy of the font and that allowed it to continue (and immich-machine-learning too)

Sorry, forgot about this. Will fix today.

Just noticed immich-machine-learning has been failing to update because of this also:

Interesting. The directory spontaneously appears for me. I’ll add a folder existence check when I get home in a few days.

Line 60

    rm -r build/lib/rapidocr/rapidocr/  # no idea why\ {this happens,only under makepkg}

Causes the build to fail as the directory doesn't exist. Removing the line allows the build to succeed (with makepkg)
