Seems like an issue with the root certificate of the Seagate website. I'm assuming that's a problem with their website, so I can't do much at the moment.

You can work around this by manually downloading the zip with your browser (or curl -k) and putting it in the same folder as the PKGBUILD, and rename it to SeaTools-<pkgver>-<pkgrel>.zip (e.g. SeaTools-5.2.5-1.zip). Then you should be able to build the package.

Ahoj,

  1. Please symlink /opt/SeaTools5/SeaTools to /usr/bin/SeaTools so that it can be run from $PATH by just typing SeaTools.
  2. You are downloading a prebuilt binary. So you should rename the package to seatools-bin, and add provides=("seatools=${pkgver}"), conflicts=("seatools"), replaces=("seatools<=5.2.5") (or what ever was the last package version of the wrongly named package before renaming).
  3. Suggestion: Include the documentation PDF https://www.seagate.com/content/dam/seagate/migrated-assets/www-content/support-content/downloads/seatools/_shared/downloads/100869623_B.pdf (or whatever is the up to date version -- linked at https://www.seagate.com/gb/en/support/downloads/seatools/#Getting%20Started) and install it into /usr/share/doc/seatools/.
  4. Installation gives me Unknown error while running cp /opt/SeaTools5/SeaTools.desktop "/usr/share/applications/":
Seatools version: 5.2.5
Preparing fake installation environment... done
Installing to fake environment... Unknown error while running cp /opt/SeaTools5/SeaTools.desktop "/usr/share/applications/" 
done

but /usr/share/applications/SeaTools.desktop is present after package installation.

  1. License identifier should be made SPDX compliant:
seatools E: custom:Seagate EULA is not a valid SPDX license identifier. See https://spdx.org/licenses/ for valid identifiers, or prefix the identifier with 'LicenseRef-', if it is custom.
  1. License text must be installed into /usr/share/licenses/${pkgname}/.

Regards and thanks for this package!!

Thanks a lot, it works.

@karhu The link still works for me? Unfortunately, curl still refuses the certificate from the SeaGate website for some reason, so you should still do the workaround from the pinned comment

Seems the address for the source had changed. See on Seagate's site : https://www.seagate.com/fr/fr/support/downloads/seatools/ Could you change it please. Sorry, wrong push with the mouse.

updpkgsums fails to download the zip with ==> ERROR: Failure while downloading https://www.seagate.com/content/dam/seagate/migrated-assets/www-content/support-content/downloads/seatools/_shared/downloads/SeaToolsLinuxX64Installer.zip

but the link downloads the zip via browser.

EDIT: Thank you nltimv that worked.

I have disowned this package. Hopefully someone can continue this work.

@chardon55 Thanks for checking possible bugs before but it still happens on both of my hosts after updated. Still do not know why because no other outputs...

Situation update: don't know why but it has been successfully installed after I install a kde plasma with plasma-meta and kde-application...
