That is a weird coincidence. Seems fine on my end from the terminal using yay -S trenchbroom-bin

Glad you got it working with pamac.

Well this was a strange coincidence. I was just about to post that I was also affected by the sudo issue on Manjaro, so I created an account and refreshed the page. Then I see that Yoplitein posted that they figured out the issue 3 minutes ago. Somewhere out there, someone is doing the same thing as me on the same OS. Small world.

Anyway, pamac build trenchbroom-bin was successful for me. Pamac asks for my sudo password later on and the process completes successfully. Previously, sudo pamac build trenchbroom-bin exited with the following error.

x ./usr/share/mime/packages/trenchbroom.xml
sudo: The "no new privileges" flag is set, which prevents sudo from running as root.
sudo: If sudo is running in a container, you may need to adjust the container configuration to disable the flag.
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().
    Aborting...
Finished with result: exit-code
Main processes terminated with: code=exited, status=4/NOPERMISSION

I also get an error related to the sudo ln in prepare():

sudo: /etc/sudo.conf is owned by uid 65534, should be 0
sudo: The "no new privileges" flag is set, which prevents sudo from running as root.
sudo: If sudo is running in a container, you may need to adjust the container configuration to disable the flag.

which I suspect is caused by packages being built in a fakeroot.

I fixed this by instead updating the library name in the executable using patchelf. My patch:

I am unsure what your issue could be unless you are on a restricted user account. Guessing it's an odd pamac issue. I just installed into Manjaro as normal, Pamac will ask for your password, enter it, and it should finish up the installation.

installing v2023.1 with pamac on Manjaro (perhaps a pamac issue?)...

...

Thank you! It is great you are jumping in and learning, as am I. As the TrenchBroom community manager I just wanted to have control or co-control of the 2 pkgbuilds on the AUR. Purely to make sure they are kept up to date as changes in Arch or TrenchBroom happen.

Not that you made any mistakes in your PKGBUILD, but IMO this should always be the last current official release build which in this case is Trenchbroom 2023.1.

By updating this to TrenchBroom v2024.1-RC2-Release it's a WIP built already out of date. By promoting it you promote an unstable version. Not that it is unstable, but in the sense there are bugs in 2024.1 RC2 that have already been fixed in the most recent commits to TrenchBroom's main branch which could be built using trenchbroom-git.

Hello Retro_Gamer,

I'm sorry i'm starting to learn contributing to the AUR and found this orphaned package. You can have it of course, i will disown it.

Just for me to learn, where did i made mistakes ? It's was flagged as out of date so i took the last release on Github. It's not builded here, since I think that <package>-bin must no be build by the PKGBUILD (contrary to <package> and <package>-git)

I tried and someone already took it..lol. It's now updated to the out of date 2024.1-RC2.

My pkgbuild builds a newer build with fewer bugs. At this point you might as well just build the most current build with trenchbroom-git

Oh I'm sorry 99cents, I missed your comment. I disowned for Retro_Gamer to take over.
