Ahoj @r00tr4t,

I do not understand what do you report about.

You somehow report about debug packages, but this is not a debug package.

If you want to have a debug package you need to make your own PKGBUILD.

Regards!

Tried to install this package but got some errors: The first error:

loading packages...
error: '/var/cache/pacman/pkg/python-inkex-debug-1.3.1-1-any.pkg.tar.zst': could not find or read package

Was solved by installing python-inkex from AUR. Then when I tried again I got:

loading packages...
error: '/var/cache/pacman/pkg/svg2tikz-git-debug-3.3.0+6.r566.20250303.40e3e05-1-any.pkg.tar.zst': could not find or read package

So I checked the /var/cache/pacman/pkg folder and it did not contain any svg2tikz debug file.

Any advises?

Ahoj @carlosal1015,

• texlive-binextra contains latexmk,
• texlive-latexrecommended contains cmap.sty,
• texlive-fontsrecommended contains tgtermes.sty
• texlive-latexextra contains fncychap.sty

after add these as makedependency compiles fine.

thanks for notifying. I added those to makedepends.

Hi @dreieck, - texlive-binextra contains latexmk, - texlive-latexrecommended contains cmap.sty, - texlive-fontsrecommended contains tgtermes.sty - texlive-latexextra contains fncychap.sty

after add these as makedependency compiles fine.

↗ Upstream states that only inkex and lxml are direct dependencies.

So maybe missing dependencies should be directed to python-inkex and python-lxml?

Regards!

Yes, I do have it on python3.11

And if your python version is 3.12 then it won't find inkex.

Is your Python version on 3.12, or 3.11 (python --version)?

The packages I listed were all thrown at me in tracebacks

I have ↗ asked upstream.

I mean, I removed everything on ~/.cache and updated again. I've just done it again, but I don't know if that's what you mean by rebuilding it.

Yes, I do have it on python3.11: https://pastebin.com/raw/HLSSpPwH

@AlbertuAru:

I am still having these issues for some reason

With inkex?
Just a guess: have you not re-built it after the latest python update?

Does it have file (pacman -Ql python-inkex) in /usr/lib/python3.11/ or any other python version directory that is not 3.12 (the up to date python version)?

In that case, you need (and do it also with all other packages for which this holds true) to rebuild it.

But I could not find the string numpy or classpath in any file in the downloaded source directory. How you come that they are needed?, or did you list them just as examples?

The packages I listed were all thrown at me in tracebacks like the one I posted for lxml. I tried building the package in a clean chroot (using aurutils) with nothing installed except base-devel and the dependencies explicitly named in the PKGBUILD.

Every package ever imported by any file needs to be in the dependencies, but as you said there is no mention of numpy in the python code itself. It appears that "poetry" is a dependency management system for python (yet another one...) and while I have never seen it before, looking at poetry.lock that looks like a list of packages that are required.

I gave up manually adding all the names I encountered in the traceback to the checkdepends and simply removed the check() function in the PKGBUILD. That allowed me to build the package, but it's probably bad practice for a package maintainer to do so.

furthermore pyproject.toml has as overall software version version = "3.0.1", but upstream is already at 3.1.0, so I do not know how up to date the dependency information in pyproject.toml is. Can you enlighten me about it?

Sorry, but I don't really know my way around python build tools either. The documentation of the module at https://xyz2tex.github.io/svg2tikz/install.html is not very helpful to me either. It's an unfortunate reality that many projects in the python world only give instructions on how to install them with pip and disregard package manager agnostic usage.

I am still having these issues for some reason :\
