@jahway603 To my knowledge, there is no need to do that. The recommended solution is for each package variant of the same software to provide the basic package (
session-desktop
here) then only conflict with that. This is described here.Anyway, are you experiencing any issue now?

Please update Line 17 to include other conflicting packages https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=session-desktop-bin#n17

works great, thanks for the quick fix!

@TomZander Thanks for pointing it out. My bad. I don't know why I added
$pkgdir
to the first path argument ofln
. I should omit it to let the symlink point to the absolute location of the executable in the system after installation. I've updated the package. Please check if this solves your problem.TomZander commented on 2024-05-03 15:17 (UTC) (edited on 2024-05-03 15:39 (UTC) by TomZander)
The suggested symlink solution is factually wrong.
The result is easy to observe, after installing the package you can do an ls -al /usr/bin/session-messenger-desktop
the result is a symlink that points to your AUR dir. Which is often in someone's homedir and thus failed to work for other users on my system. You should NOT put a symlink in the pkgdir like this. Using an install file would be much better.
Edit:
Forcing a relative symlink DOES work:

@escape0707 It was exactly from extra/chromium that I took it to be still a good thing to do security-wise. I'll dig through my notes and add more detailed info. Thanks for the speedy change!

@glitsj16 Thanks for the note. I've never saw related info on the Electron package guidelines page, but after some search, I decided to follow extra/chromium and give
chrome-sandbox
SUID. I would be grateful if you could leave some related documentation explaining the necessity of this, though.glitsj16 commented on 2024-03-03 07:02 (UTC)
The
chrome-sandbox
file needs to be SUID. That's a rather important security feature. Please correct this. A one-liner change: chmod 4755 $pkgdir/opt/Session/chrome-sandboxescape0707 commented on 2023-10-08 17:20 (UTC) (edited on 2023-12-16 13:00 (UTC) by escape0707)
Old unnecessary
.install
file removed from this package. If you see an error message saying/usr/bin/session-messenger-desktop already exists
during your next update, you can simplysudo rm /usr/bin/session-messenger-desktop
then redo the updating process.It's because previously this package used a
.install
script to create the symlink in/usr/bin
to the actual executable file installed in/opt
, and thus this symlink is not managed by pacman directly. When you upgrade, pacman will frown upon this file and refuse to overwrite files it doesn't recoginzed yet. So justrm
the symlink and restart updating again.escape0707 commented on 2023-10-07 04:50 (UTC)
@post-factum Oh yes, you are right. I thought about changing these part when I applied to take over this orphaned package, but forgot it when the take-over happened. I'll look into it when I'm home.
