@snack @wudu: Have you tried building every seafile related package in a clean chroot? Otherwise it's maybe caused by a broken build environment. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot
If you don't want to do that yourself you can use the package from my CI/CD:
Build status: https://abs-cd.oscloud.info/cd_manager/seafile-client
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unofficial_user_repositories#oscloud
@wudu It happens also to me. It didn't happen with 8.0.3 so I'd say it's a new bug.
I have installed the 8.0.4 version. On hovering (not clicking) the "gear" with the mouse to acces the options the program crashes. Didn't have an earlier version installed so I don't know if this problem existed before. Tried the same version in Ubuntu from the official repo without this problem in a VM.
When starting in a terminal I get:
GLib-WARNING **: 10:28:05.114: (../glib/glib/gerror.c:761):g_error_new_valist: runtime check failed: (domain != 0)
Followed by: 'seafile-applet' terminated by signal SIGSEGV
Because of the checksum error I updated the package to 8.0.4. Pls also see comments at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/seafile/.
Can we get an optional dependency on qt5-wayland for those of us on Wayland?
Also, for those struggling with the validity check: updpkgsums from pacman-contrib makes short work of the problem, though don't get in the habit of using it blindly. It seems the seafile devs like to re-upload source packages.
The sha256sum from depency seafile (v8.0.3.tar.gz) did also change, it is currently a83d5d301cf54819ab96ea0ab53824980efdf6727460b969ce3176b4c5109f6b
@urldog unfortunately this will be necessary:
$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/seafile-client.git$ cd seafile-client$ wget -O seafile-client-8.0.3.tar.gz https://github.com/haiwen/seafile-client/archive/v8.0.3.tar.gz$ sha256sum seafile-client-8.0.3.tar.gz$ makepkg -siSo here is your step by step explanation, note that "$" means "run as normal user".
The underlying problem arises because the seafile people seem to re-release sometimes so the shasums of the ".tar.gz"-file change after release.
As a further comment I would say that you have to realize that what I described does circumvent the download and obviously the checksumming mechanism of the package itself and could be done in other ways, but all those would probably be a bad habit for you in the future (like ignoring these checksums at all).
If you need further help or have questions just post again.
Could someone post the steps they did to get the client to work? Ideally each single step as I'm not ready to invest in how to edit/build packages in arch yet. Thanks a lot in advance.
@blackpoll until there is a new version of the PHGBUILD, you can edit it locally specifying the correct sha256sum for the file seafile-8.0.3.tar.gz, as explained by @dsnxt
==> Validating source files with sha256sums... seafile-8.0.3.tar.gz ... FAILED seaf-cli@.service ... Passed ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!
How to fix this?

Please, when you have compilation or execution errors, recompile each component without using an AUR helper before reporting an issue.
