Arch Linux User Repository

Please don't flag package out-of-date if it stops working due to some dependency's upgrade, e.g., ImportError: libglslang.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. It's AUR and not an Archlinux repository: you just need to rebuild the package.

Since python has recently been upgraded to 3.13, you need to rebuild the package if you installed it last before the upgrade, e.g., with yay (thanks @marco.righi) you can:

yay -S zapzap --rebuildtree  --noconfirm  --rebuild --sudoloop

This PKGBUILD uses a pacman feature to compute checksums in CVS packages, which requires pacman>=6.1.0. If you're coming from Manjaro or an other Arch-based distro with pacman<6.1.0, you need to pass --skipchecksums to makepkg, if building manually, or, if installing with yay, add --mflags --skipchecksums, e.g.:

yay -S --mflags --skipchecksums zapzap

@Ammonium Rebuilding 6.2.5-1 works.

yay -S --rebuild zapzap

or

paru -S --rebuild zapzap

Current version 6.2.5-1 is broken:

❯ zapzap
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/zapzap", line 5, in <module>
    from zapzap.__main__ import main
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'zapzap'

Had to build from previous version 6.2.4-1 to launch properly

The only thing that worked for me to make it compile:

python -m build --wheel --no-isolation --skip-dependency-check

in PKGBuild file

Tried to remove zapzap cache directory.. nothing works.

I've seen this package is marked as outdated. The problem's that the current version contains a dash in it (6.1.1-2), which fails with:

==> ERROR: pkgver is not allowed to contain colons, forward slashes, hyphens or whitespace.

I fixed it manually, and autoupdate should still work for valid versions. For more versions with '-', I'll need to write a PR for the autoupdate bot to handle it properly automatically.

Resolved by completely deleting the ZapZap configuration and cache

rm -Rf ~/.local/share/ZapZap
rm -Rf ~/.local/state/ZapZapstaterc
rm -Rf ~/.config/ZapZap
rm -Rf ~/.config/ZapZaprc 

Hi, ZapZap uses all cores at 100% of the CPU after the last updates (perhaps after the WhatsApp Web update).

@ImFenyx It's hard to tell what exactly is wrong, but if this command gives you an error (I assume it should):

python -c 'from PyQt6.QtWebEngineCore import QWebEngineDownloadRequest'

It's an issue with your python-pyqt6-webengine not with this package.

According to libtree /usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/PyQt6/QtWebEngineCore.abi3.so, libtheora is linked by libavcodec, so you may check if there's something wrong with it.

@alllexx88 I tried the same command with paru, but it didn't work. I don't think I've mixed extra with extra-testing, I had applied testing in pacman.conf and since weeks I've used paru -Syu, it's never been a problem
