@Schnouki Could you update the package with the recent change from xkeyboard-config?

boombap commented on 2025-06-20 12:25 (UTC)

Ok thanks, I thought the patch was already applied. I will try to do it manually :)

@boombap: the package must be updated with the change suggested by @dshems, and this did not happen yet. In the meantime, you could do it "manually", using:

# Download package and unpack the package
wget https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/xkb-qwerty-fr.tar.gz
tar xzvf xkb-qwerty-fr.tar.gz
# Replace the line in the package
perl -p -i -e "s|/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us_qwerty-fr|/usr/share/xkeyboard-config-2/symbols/us_qwerty-fr|" xkb-qwerty-fr/PKGBUILD
# Rebuild the package
cd xkb-qwerty-fr && makepkg
# Install the package
sudo pacman -U xkb-qwerty-fr-0.7.3-1-any.pkg.tar.zst

I had to uninstall it to run pacman -Syu , now when I try to install it again I get the same error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) xkb-qwerty-fr: /usr/share/X11/xkb exists in filesystem (owned by xkeyboard-config)

I cleaned the cache with yay -Scc and tried to install with yay -S xkb-qwerty-fr

It creates the package version 0.7.3-1

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Regarding the xkeyboard-config changes, this patch does the trick:

The last xkeyboard-config update changed /usr/share/X11/xkb from a directory to a symlink to /usr/share/xkeyboard-config-2.

I tried to add mv ${pkgdir}/usr/share/X11/xkb ${pkgdir}/usr/share/xkeyboard-config-2 in the package() procedure of the PKGBUILD and it worked.

I've got this error recently : error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) xkb-qwerty-fr: /usr/share/X11/xkb exists in filesystem (owned by xkeyboard-config)

Probably related to a recent xkeyboard-config update. Still trying to figure out what is happening.

Schnouki commented on 2024-11-25 20:59 (UTC)

@devnoname120 I don't think I will, honestly. It works well-enough for me as is... and since a few weeks ago I switched to QWERTY-Lafayette and I'm not even using this layout anymore :/

devnoname120 commented on 2024-11-23 18:06 (UTC)

@Schnouki Could you do an upstream PR to add base.lst updating? Thanks
