Just faced a problem on the checksum: ==> Making package: rar 5.4.0-2 (Wed 19 Jul 09:37:21 BST 2017) ==> Checking runtime dependencies... ==> Checking buildtime dependencies... ==> Retrieving sources... -> Found rar.1 -> Found rarlinux-x64-5.4.0.tar.gz ==> Validating source files with md5sums... rar.1 ... Passed ==> Validating source_x86_64 files with md5sums... rarlinux-x64-5.4.0.tar.gz ... FAILED ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!

Version 5.4.0-2 available: - Updated checksums due to upstream release changes - Removed /usr/bin/rar_static file no longer available Enjoy!

Package has been disowned, someone who wants to update and maintain it can take ownership now.

@gloriouseggroll please don't flag an aur package out of date when its not! just post a message to update PKGBUILD if there's a problem with the build the latest rar is 5.4.0 on rar labs, there is no update as of yet You can edit the PKGBUILD file on the fly and install it with a one liner su wget -qO - https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/rar.tar.gz | tar xz -C /tmp ; cd /tmp/rar* ; sed -i '/rar_static/d' PKGBUILD ; makepkg -g >> PKGBUILD ; makepkg -s ; pacman -U rar-* ;cd $HOME;clear Simple !!!

Thanks @HisDudeness for the PKGBUILD

The package fails validity check. I copied the md5sum of the source tar.gz downloaded, changing it to the latest version (5.5.b4) and it passes that step. It then complains about this: install: cannot stat 'rar_static': No such file or directory and I can't in fact find rar_static, there's only rar in /usr/bin. So I removed the line install -Dm755 rar_static "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/rar_static" from the package() section of the PKGBUILD. It now works. This is my modified PKGBUILD https://pastebin.com/raw/kCmbmQf7

All a matching checksum means is that you have probably* downloaded the same file as the maintainer. The point I'm trying to make is that the checksum in the PKGBUILD isn't necessarilly more valid/secure than the ones other people are reporting in the comments. You argue that only the checksum reported by the maintainer is secure, I argue that no checksum is -- checksums should not be used to verify the validity of a file, only it's integrity. See also: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#Integrity * apparently it's possible to have two completely different files have a matching md5sum, so this isn't guaranteed.

@WorMzy > What makes you so sure that the maintainer won't simply run updpkgsums and resubmit the package? I can download the tarball and manually check its checksum with the one claimed in the PKGBUILD. > How will you know if they do this or liase with upstream We can't know for sure. But this doesn't mean we should ignore the checksum verification altogether. > How do you know if /any/ package maintainer verifies the source checksums with upstream? Some do. Again, just because some maintainers don't care doesn't mean we should expose ourselves by ignoring the checksum verification.

The md5sum for rar.1 (whatever that is?) has also changed: 4cffd2771bb4a51e4a68500d799550d8
