@linxpert: Thanks, sabyenc3 was renamed to sabctools ages ago. I've removed it as a depends and requested it be deleted.

@fryfrog: Can you please remove python-sabyenc3 from the dependencies as it seems to me not required (https://github.com/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/blob/develop/requirements.txt) nor maintained.

I'm getting the same problem with "missing sabctools". I've removed and reinstalled sabnzbd, and also tried rebuilding python-sabctools, but I am still stuck on trying to get systemctl to start the service. Any ideas please?

OK, so it is the "cleanbuild" that seems to be important here. All good now.

@fryfrog I figured it out shortly after leaving the comment and subsequently deleted it. I've un-deleted to provide context to your response and in case others have the same issue. For those that need extra instruction, reinstall python-sabctools using pacman or your AUR helper and choose to clean build.

Thanks!

@Cement8694, you need to rebuild the python-sabctools package, that's what fixed mine.

I think there are some broken dependencies after some recent python updates.

Could you please add par2cmdline-turbo to optdepends?

I don't know if it was voted as the default nowadays, but it would be great to at least mention suggest it. :)

@baumeimo, you don't need to run the service as your user in order to use binaries installed on the system. And there's a reason the override warning is at the top of the service file.

# Be sure to use `systemctl edit radarr` to modify this service with an override.conf because
# direct changes will be overwritten by package updates.

Edit: hahaha, it says "radarr" :P

I had the following log problem:

WARNING::[SABnzbd:472] 7za binary... NOT found!

  • Install: sudo pacman -S p7zip
  • open: sudo systemctl edit --full sabnzbd.service
  • comment out: #User=sabnzbd
  • insert: User=<enter your user>
  • after that: sudo systemctl daemon-reload
  • sudo systemctl restart sabnzbd.service
  • sudo systemctl status sabnzbd.service

the error message has disappeared for me, sab is now also running under the user where 7za is to be expected.

Tip: create an override file for ‘sabnzbd.service’

So that not everything is shot during the update and you have to search for errors.

Using yay to reinstall sabctools and selecting cleanbuild did it for me.
