This package shows error at verifies the authenticity. I use "$makepkg --skippgpcheck -i" to build and install package. Can the maintainer check the problem?

mv: cannot stat '/home/xxx/.cache/yay/youtube-dl/pkg/youtube-dl/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/youtube-dl.bash-completion': No such file or directory

I tried deleting the /home/xxx/.cache/yay/youtube-dl directory.

Maybe want to update this to use the more up to date version here: https://github.com/ytdl-org/ytdl-nightly/archive/refs/tags/2024.05.31.tar.gz instead of the release from 12/2021. It is much more up to date. I built the git version and it does work.

This is what is shown when updating youtube-dl:

The PGP key ED7F5BF46B3BBED81C87368E2C393E0F18A9236D is needed to verify youtube-dl source files.
Trust Sergey M. <dstftw@gmail.com> and import the PGP key ? [y/N]

It's the key of Sergey M. dstftw@gmail.com

It matches the one found in https://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/download.html

Also matches what is found in OpenGPG keyservers:

@ gpg --search-keys ED7F5BF46B3BBED81C87368E2C393E0F18A9236D
gpg: data source: https://185.125.188.26:443
(1) Sergey M. <dstftw@gmail.com>
      4096 bit RSA key 2C393E0F18A9236D, created: 2016-04-09
Keys 1-1 of 1 for "ED7F5BF46B3BBED81C87368E2C393E0F18A9236D".  Enter number(s), N)ext, or Q)uit > Q

And it matches the issuer of signatures found in https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/releases. So it seems legit.

tarball commented on 2024-05-22 10:16 (UTC)

The signature is the same, and source code hasn't changed since 2021. The package was updated because of the recent release of Python 3.12.

Look into commit history, all changes are publicly visible.

With the latest update to this aur, does it come with a new pgp signature? there was some sort of gmail.com added while processing youtube-dl. the yay window closed after 60 seconds and this email/pgp prompt for import was unfortunately not logged into /var/log/pacman.log

tarball commented on 2024-05-21 16:13 (UTC)

Re-tested the package under a temporary unix user with both yay and pure makepkg. It works fine. Could you try rebuilding after wiping the paru caches?

mmkodali commented on 2024-05-21 15:57 (UTC)

package fails to install with following output: 

mv: cannot stat '/home/xxxx/.cache/paru/clone/youtube-dl/pkg/youtube-dl/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/youtube-dl.bash-completion': No such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().

you can import the attached key inside the package before running makepkg:

gpg --import ./keys/pgp/ED7F5BF46B3BBED81C87368E2C393E0F18A9236D.asc
makepkg -si
