With the current version, I had some issues when installing with paru: - First, it could not find the 'plugins2' folder during staging and I guessed it's just 'plugins' instead, please see my patch below. - Second, the updater reported no changes were necessary but exited with an unexpected status of 45 (instead of 51). Perhaps, both are acceptable? No other errors visible. With my changes to the PKGBUILD, it built fine. I installed it manually with 'pacman -U' and it just started fine and loaded my old files without issue - great work! Patch:

@Auerhuhn Thanks for sharing! I'll have a look as well. However, it works quite nice and the installer with integrated update is great :) keep up the good work & best wishes!

@1ng0 Oh I wish I knew! I’ve been encountering those same issues (and then some) with wiso-steuer ever since I switched to Linux a couple of years ago.

Thanks for the heads up and the screenshot! It’s good to know that it’s not just my machine. I’ve used private Wiso PKGBUILDs for a couple of years, but 2025 is actually the first time that I deemed the app fit for the AUR. Getting rid of the installer and integrating the update mechanism have been the most difficult PKGBUILD-related things I’ve done this year.

I’m currently learning to use winedbg, hoping to level up enough so I’ll be able to tackle the PDF and Elster submission problems in the next year or two. I’ll let you know if and when I get it working.

In general use, it works quite well (loong time since I checked out Wine ;). However, today I noticed that there is a problem with PDFs not being rendered (or generated?) correctly, for example on preview or when submitting everything. When stored to disk, it looks the same way in Ocular, for example. Screenshot of it is here: http://e.pc.cd/x4botalK

Do you have an idea, what might go wrong? Does it work on your side?

Thanks & best wishes!
