@dreieck I have updated the package to not bundle ffmpeg anymore following this upstream issue. Vdhcoapp can only use the local ffmpeg because its path is hardcoded. The package uses symlinks for now and I am waiting for Vdhcoapp to properly support using the system's ffmpeg.

I also added the provides and conflicts variables.

Thanks for your suggestions

❯ for i in src pkg ; do find "$i" -type f -name "vdhcoapp" -exec md5sum {} \; ; done
c6328972d7fe0c9fd19109118d54e7f2  src/vdhcoapp-bin/opt/vdhcoapp/vdhcoapp
19b1cebde3e46a19a1c9a36fddcf3819  pkg/vdhcoapp-bin/opt/vdhcoapp/vdhcoapp

I do have options=('!strip') in the PKGBUILD, but it strips the binary anyway. I also tried options(!strip) and changes in makepkg.conf.

Strange

Other files shows different results

strip works for ffmpeg.

The file from deb has been changed which causes the Pkg: Error reading from file error. Replacing the file works for me.

Just a confirmation for @Havok_Novak @mnussbaum or anyone else experiencing this, I had the same error after building in a clean chroot. I regret to not having the build logs anymore.

Manually recreating the build by extracting the vdhcoapp-linux-x86_64.deb (and creating symlinks to ffmpeg binaries after removing the bundled ones) results in a working vdhcoapp binary.

Odd indeed!

(BTW, using upstream's vdhcoapp-noffmpeg-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 works fine too)

Yeah @mnussbaum, me too, I get the same error when doing the installation.

For me, install emits errors like this:

:: Running post-transaction hooks...
(1/3) Arming ConditionNeedsUpdate...
(2/3) Installing JSON configuration file ...
Pkg: Error reading from file.
error: command failed to execute correctly
(3/3) Installing JSON configuration file for current user ...
Pkg: Error reading from file.
error: command failed to execute correctly

After install, all attempts to run vdhcoapp commands yield the same Pkg: Error reading from file. error. Is anyone else running into this?

/opt/vdhcoapp/ffmpeg
/opt/vdhcoapp/ffprobe

These two files can be removed? Or also use symlinks to system ffmpeg?

update PKGBUILD:

_pkgname=vdhcoapp

package() {
  .......
  # ffmpeg
  mkdir -p "${pkgdir}/opt/${_package}/converter/build/linux/64/"
  for cmd in ffmpeg ffprobe ffplay; do
    ln -sv /usr/bin/$cmd "${pkgdir}/opt/${_package}/converter/build/linux/64/$cmd"
    if [ -f "${pkgdir}/opt/${_pkgname}/$cmd" ]; then
      ln -sv -f /usr/bin/$cmd "${pkgdir}/opt/${_pkgname}/$cmd"
    fi
  done
 .......
}
