Arch Linux User Repository

As a workaround you can download the deb file from your browser manually and copy to ~./.cache/yay/realvnc-vnc-viewer/

Make sure you select None at cleanBuild question.

Anyone who has a solution to the captcha or wants to co-maintain this package is welcome.

I'm also getting the same HTTP 405 error.

Copy and paste between local and remote machine does not work

In each of the links in "sources" the www should be swapped for downloads for them to work correctly.

https://www.realvnc.com/download/file/viewer.files/VNC-Viewer-7.0.1-Linux-x64.deb

returns 404

https://downloads.realvnc.com/download/file/vnc.files/VNC-Server-7.0.1-Linux-x64.deb

seems to be a correct url

aarch64 can be added to the list of supported architectures. Here's a patch:

Finally made experiment in another PC and deleted that symlink. Then installed with cleanbuild realvnc-vnc-viewer again.

Noticed BEFORE that action:

ls -l /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.1
/usr/lib/libcrypt.so.1 -> /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2.0.0

ls /usr/lib/libcrypt.so*
/usr/lib/libcrypt.so
/usr/lib/libcrypt.so.1
/usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2
/usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2.0.0

AFTER:

ls -l /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.1
/usr/lib/libcrypt.so.1 -> libcrypt.so.1.1.0

ls /usr/lib/libcrypt.so*
/usr/lib/libcrypt.so
/usr/lib/libcrypt.so.1
/usr/lib/libcrypt.so.1.1.0
/usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2
/usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2.0.0

System rebooted fine at least one PC. Using also encrypted disk.

@jose1711 What do you mean, I've said file in my system?

Interfering manually into automatic software installation configuration sounds very dangerous behaviour. I did not create anything manually and if errors exist, these must be fixed same way, they appeared - automatically via installation, updating.

ls -l /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.1

If to delete that symlink, I have no information, what could be broken. Seems very important library used by many system components.
