Hello everyone, there's always a lot of confusion when ungoogled-chromium doesn't start because of a system dependency it can't find.

This issue is inherent to Arch Linux package management, there's no mechanism that tracks required rebuilds. Maintainers are expected to push manual pkgrel bumps once a rebuild is required. The chromium package can somewhat easily handle this, they can also update the package in testing first.

People's comments here or on GitHub are how I notice that a rebuild is required, I try to push an update quickly then. Sadly a full rebuild currently takes over 24 hours on GitHub Actions and I'm not exactly maintaining open source software as my dayjob either, so this can take a while.

There's no solution for this really, other than adopting the package into the official repository maybe (I cannot do that). Note that for Manjaro users even a rebuild might not be enough as there can always be mismatches in what system library versions are available.

Please note that normally it's not required to flag this package as out of date. I usually tag releases in the main ungoogled-chromium repository and update the arch packaging right afterwards.

If the package hasn't updated after an ungoogled-chromium release GitHub Actions might still be building or the ungoogled-chromium patchset got updated for non Linux platforms only to match their upstream release cycle

@networkexception the rebuild you've mentioned has not fixed the issue @xusine pointed out

networkException commented on 2022-10-22 15:14 (UTC)

@xusine a rebuild is already in progress, see https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium-archlinux/actions/workflows/release.yml

Archlinx official upgrades libicui18n.so to libicui18n.so.72 and this operation breaks the binary.

@weltaal I don't have the capacity to look into aarch64 builds at the moment sadly and I fear a maintainer who daily drives those binaries would be needed to ensure updates

saftsack commented on 2022-09-18 12:55 (UTC)

@networkException thanks for this. Can you add an aarch64 build too?

@networkException Great, thank you for the update

HC6505 commented on 2022-09-17 12:56 (UTC)

Here it was updated yesterday. I only wanted to notify you, not start a war. Have a nice day and thank you for your hard work

Have you noticed that the rebuild for flac 1.4.0-1 literally came out 6 minutes ago?

HC6505 commented on 2022-09-17 12:41 (UTC)

Flac 1.4.0-1 breaks unggogled-chromium-bin /usr/lib/chromium/chromium: error while loading shared libraries: libFLAC.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Until new build is there, it can be worked around with: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libFLAC.so.12 /usr/lib/libFLAC.so.8
