Arch Linux User Repository

I made changes to the package to not use the .install script, that created files, which were not tracked by package manager.

In order to upgrade, you can either:

• remove surfshark-client and all the left-over files, that were created by https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/surfshark-client.install?h=surfshark-client&id=cafd6cd8000159ce32b45ab77125ff07060b97d8, that are not cleaned up properly (/usr/lib/systemd/user/surfsharkd.service, /usr/lib/systemd/system/surfsharkd2.service). Surprisingly, removing the package should properly remove /usr/bin/surfshark. Then install again
• Or, you can install with ignoring the file conflicts (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman#Troubleshooting)

Thank you for this updated package, the previous one I used being outdated and non-functional gave me a scare. Had to make this account here just to express my appreciation. Please maintain this, -J

I created a new surfshark GUI Client based on this one. You can get it here https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/surfshark-yac

A GitHub Action should update automatically when a new .deb is available. A cron job checks every 30 minutes. You can help the project here: https://github.com/D4llo/surfshark-yac

0xFF1E071F You are trying to install an old version. You can fix by doing

yay --editmenu -S surfshark-client

then follow wgalen comment and update your PKGBUILD to have:

pkgver=2.2.0.2835
source=("https://ocean.surfshark.com/debian/pool/main/s/surfshark_2.2.0_amd64.deb")
sha512sums=('aef4c588c8505f0720aa91f96e882877f22556410a36eae9b606d3a73f3868a450c21e9810b8a792273b58af65c97aa1342c970b4f3f9beee879ea3c22543309')

Error downloading:

Thanks wgalen all working now. :-)

Surfshark has updated to 2.2.0-2835, but seems to omit that revision number in the filename now.

Updating my PKGBUILD with this seems to work:

pkgver=2.2.0.2835
source=("https://ocean.surfshark.com/debian/pool/main/s/surfshark_2.2.0_amd64.deb")

New link to download the file https://ocean.surfshark.com/debian/pool/main/s/surfshark_2.1.0-2503_amd64.deb

or you can edit PKGBUILD and modify the source as below -

source=("${package}::https://ocean.surfshark.com/debian/pool/main/s/${package}")

surfshark_2.1.0-2503_amd64.deb does seem to be the latest version but I cant seem to get it I get, can someone elaborate on how they got that .deb link?
