Seems that somebody has made malicious requests to merge this package into "ffmpeg-full", as well as to orphan this image. Please note that this is NOT a valid request, and that you should not install whatever ffmpeg-full is.

Hopefully AUR will deny these requests, but please be alert and double check when updating packages.

@ratbox

The releases on the AUR are done automatically every hour. The issue is that sometimes the zen team does a release, then the script runs and updates the AUR package. And then they undo/remove the release. If this happens again simply wait another hour and the script will automatically update the AUR repo with the newest published version.

Thank you for understanding

For those coming from https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/aur-general@lists.archlinux.org/thread/7EZTJXLIAQLARQNTMEW2HBWZYE626IFJ/, note that the malware is from zen-browser-PATCHED-bin. This package has not been compromised.

@StuckUpCreations Just remove the cache and then run your package manager again. If you use yay that will be:

rm -rf ~/.cache/yay/zen-browser-bin
yay

im getting an error :(

@scvg009 What worked for me is re-pulling the PKGBUILD file by deleting it from cache explicitly. Use paru, it would look something like

rm -rf ~/.cache/paru/clone/zen-browser-bin 
paru -S zen-browser-bin

@Larvey I tried it, but I still can't install it. It was working fine the day before yesterday.

Larvey commented on 2025-11-07 15:24 (UTC)

@scvg009 I am sorry but I am not sure what the issue is. I have checked the PKGBUILD and the release on GitHub and confirmed that the checksums are correct. I would try running a clean build or clearing out your cache. If it still happens then the problem is most likely upstream

cool program. move to extra when?

Larvey commented on 2025-10-07 19:22 (UTC)

@lone-cloud, thanks for providing that. I'll make sure to add ffmpeg4.4 to the dependency list. Thanks a lot for providing that information. If I am missing any other sort of dependencies in the future, please let me know. Thanks :)

@Larvey, you should absolutely not be looking at firefox-bin and it's also got the wrong dependencies. In addition, nobody uses that crap as there's already a firefox package in extra. This is what you should be copying instead: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/firefox/-/blob/main/PKGBUILD?ref_type=heads#L18
