In case anybody wants to integrate KeePassXC with Tor-Browser, you need:
/home/user/.local/opt/tor-browser/app/Browser/TorBrowser/Data/Browser/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts with file org.keepassxc.keepassxc_browser.json from Firefox or Chromium.@grufo I'm having the same issue described by @rek2 here.
The /sbin/tor-browser shell script is looking for /opt/tor-browser/tor-browser-linux64-12.0.1_en-US.tar.xz when only /opt/tor-browser/tor-browser-linux64-12.0.1_ALL.tar.xz exists in that directory.
Here is what is seen in the LOG
$ cat .tor-browser/LOG
/sbin/tor-browser: Your version in /home/USERNAME/.tor-browser is outdated or you do not have installed tor-browser yet.
/sbin/tor-browser: Extracting files to /home/USERNAME/.tor-browser/INSTALL.
tar (child): /opt/tor-browser/tor-browser-linux64-12.0.1_en-US.tar.xz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
I fixed it by renaming the tar.xz in /opt/tor-browser to what the /sbin/tor-browser shell script was expecting... Please update the PKGBUILD
@rek2 i had the same error:
The tor-browser archive could not be extracted to your home directory....
after reinstalling from aur it works. perhaps my using of chaotic-aur repo was causing the problem.
@grufo dont be a smart ass is a clean install I did not modify anything is broken everything that is there is because the paru -S tor-browser install is doing so, something is wrong in the makepkg that is mixing new with old stuff
@rek2 Please do not mark this package again as “outdated” for no reasons. The very fact that you get tor-browser-linux64-12.0.1_en-US.tar.xz in a log message means that you are using an outdated PKGBUILD or you modified something on your own.
usr/bin/tor-browser: Your version in /home/rek2/.tor-browser is outdated or you do not have installed tor-browser yet. /usr/bin/tor-browser: Extracting files to /home/rek2/.tor-browser/INSTALL. tar (child): /opt/tor-browser/tor-browser-linux64-12.0.1_en-US.tar.xz: Cannot open: No such file or directory tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
package is broken
The tor-browser archive could not be extracted to your home directory.
Check permissions of /home/rek2/.tor-browser/INSTALL.
The error log can be found in /home/rek2/.tor-browser/LOG
==> ERROR: Failure while downloading https://dist.torproject.org/torbrowser/12.0/tor-browser-linux64-12.0_ALL.tar.xz Aborting... -> error downloading sources: tor-browser context: exit status 1
there is no 12.0 PKGBUILD line 20 should be pkgver='12.0.1'
Having the TORBROWSER_PKGLANG environment variable set makes the package download fail. If you are not sure, you can still comment out the _localetor function in the PKGBUILD, and when you think it's definitely ok, remove all the logic. You might eventually display a info to people who still have the variable that they can get rid of it.
Btw, remember there's the Git history of the AUR that keeps the changes, so if you need to get back to the current logic, feel free to take advantage of it.

Before running
makepkg, you must do this (as normal user):$ gpg --auto-key-locate nodefault,wkd --locate-keys torbrowser@torproject.orgIf you want to update tor-browser from AUR without AUR helpers you can run in a terminal:
$ tor-browser -u
