Arch Linux User Repository

I see.

@oech3 Pinning to https://www.vandyke.com/cgi-bin/download_form_1.php?pid=scrt_sfx_ubuntu2464_deb_962 doesn't work for me. I still get the page to select the country and acknowledge the export control statement to then press the download button.

I won't remove the shipped Qt dynamic libraries. The whole reason I initially maintained this version, was because Arch was pulling ahead of Ubuntu and the linked Qt5 system libraries no longer worked. This way there is at least a chance with setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

I'll add your suggested Qt6 dependencies and remove the obsolete ones on the next release.

Thanks for your suggestions!

You can drop icu74 and buldled Qt6 with qt6-{base,multimedia,5compat} (without dirty symbol hack) by

rm -rv usr/lib/scrt-sfx/{libQt6*,lib,plugins}

under bsdtar -xf

qt5-base could be removable.

Pin https://www.vandyke.com/cgi-bin/download_form_1.php?pid=scrt_sfx_ubuntu2464_deb_962 if automatic DL is impossible.

file:// is not needed.

Hm, it still can't find the file. Did you copy it from your home ( ~/ ) to your cache?

cp ~/scrt-sfx-9.6.1-3491.ubuntu24-64.x86_64.deb ~/.cache/yay/scrt-sfx-opt-bin/

I agree with you, kb8doa. I think they should release a flatpak version, really. I just installed a fresh Manjaro via quickemu (a nice way to test out linux distros quickly).

I found it extremely frustrating to work with pamac. I highly recommend you switch to yay, if not for your system as a whole, then just for AUR packages.

sudo pacman -S yay

Then you'll try to install this package yay -S scrt-sfx-opt-bin , you'll get the same error (basically file not found).

If you download the file to your home folder, you'll do the following:

[kazaii@broadview ~]$ ls | grep scrt
scrt-sfx-9.6.1-3491.ubuntu24-64.x86_64.deb
[kazaii@broadview ~]$ cp ~/scrt-sfx-9.6.1-3491.ubuntu24-64.x86_64.deb ~/.cache/yay/scrt-sfx-opt-bin/
[kazaii@broadview ~]$

Here's my output (note, I cancelled before it finished as I already have normal scrt installed, but I got past the failure):

Thanks for the response. It still fails to build when I place the .deb file in /tmp (also tried /var/tmp)

Failure while downloading file://scrt-sfx-9.6.1-3491.ubuntu24-64.x86_64.deb

It is sad that I cannot use my paid license for scrt/sfx just because it will not install into Manjaro.

I wish VanDyke would just allow the binary to be distributed with this install. They just lost a customer...

@kb8doa it looks like it uses the /tmp/ folder
