@m040601, those files left after Rns because they weren't created by pacman itself, but by whoogle.

i remember someone on bbs wrote that by deleting text editor pacman won't delete created text files. i suppose here is same situation

The current PKGBUILD leaves behind orphan files when uninstalling whoogle-git.

Steps to reproduce.

Install whoogle-git.

Sudo systemctl start whoogle.

Test and Use.

Sudo systemctl stop whoogle.

pacman -Rns whoogle-git

pacman -Qo /opt/whoogle-search/

error: No package owns /opt/whoogle-search

I can confirm that this version, 0.6.0_r422.g6763c2e-1),

    $ yay -Ss  whoogle-git
aur/whoogle-git 0.6.0_r391.g20976f2-1 (+3 1.56) (Installed: 0.6.0_r422.g6763c2e-1)
    A self-hosted, ad-free, privacy-respecting metasearch engine

Seems to install and start OK.

Fixed! :)

whoogle-git also doesnt even install:

[Aur:1] whoogle-git-0.6.0_r391.g20976f2-1

seems to go ok, but then:

I must also add that I have also tested installing whoogle on Archlinux with

pipx install --verbose whoogle-search

It worked perfectly until some days ago. It does not work now:

$ whoogle-search --help

    $ whoogle-search

So maybe, just maybe, this isnt a problem with these AUR packgages but with the upstream development breaking something in Archlinux.

hiya, dr460nf1r3.
cleared my cache of whoogle-git folder to get clean compile experience and encountered following errors:

1. rm: cannot remove '.github': No such file or directory (deleted .github in PKGBUILD)
2. install: cannot stat '/tmp/makepkg/whoogle-git/src/whoogle-git-search/LICENSE': No such file or directory (corrected path to "$srcdir/whoogle-search/LICENSE" in PKGBUILD)
3. cp: cannot stat '/tmp/makepkg/whoogle-git/src/whoogle-git-search/': No such file or directory (corrected path to "$srcdir/whoogle-search/")

tried whoogle-git-0.6.0_r404.g1b7d3ed-1-x86_64
still same error persist "chown: cannot access '/opt/whoogle-search/app/static/config': No such file or directory"

because there package compiling there are no such folder as /opt/whoogle-search/app/static/config

now after chowning /opt/whoogle-search/app/static error is

Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: libffi.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

You could try chown -R whoogle.whoogle /opt/whoogle-search/app/static/config, as its done in .install.

@dr460nf1r3, /opt/whoogle-search/app/static/config is not a file, but a folder :) this folder already exists in tar.zst package, but for some reason it require whoogle rights to this folder being able to perform it's privacy and ad-free duty

Could you try manually creating that file? Since I can't reproduce the issue, might the file have been created before for me?
