To anyone having setuptools not found issue: You probably did a partial upgrade. Setuptools was installed for python 3.14 but python is still stuck at 3.13. Just run sudo pacman -Syu to fix the issue.

It worked for me when I changed line 28 in the PKGBUILD from 'cd "$srcdir/safeeyes-$pkgver"' to 'cd "$srcdir/SafeEyes-$pkgver"' (capital letters).

@poir

for some reason sha1sum in the PKGBUILD file seems to have the correct value, but checksum fails. I had to manually apply sha1 checksum to the tar file and copy identical result back in sha1sum variable and this worked for me.
