No, detect-old-perl-modules.hook is just a system utility that checks for issues with Perl modules, which according to your log there weren't any to find. But this libalpm log (which I assume is Big-Store's output) isn't what I meant anyway; what I meant was the first part of the build log that you posted in your first comment:

^This is from my successful attempt at building Zoneminder on Manjaro just now, by the way, so it's almost certain that your issue is an incompatibility on BigLinux's side of things.

(AFAIU = As Far As I Understand = I assume; no worries about the language, that's why we have Google Translate in the first place ;) )

@Nocifer Thank you very much for your answer, he he he, even though I don't know what it is: "AFAIU", I'll see what might be happening in BigLinux/Manjaro and come back to answer Here a log from the beginning: https://pastebin.com/VGrL3RWu

Sorry my bad english, i'm brazillian user and use google translate

@Creto Unfortunately, the log tidbit you've posted doesn't tell me much about the actual cause of the error. The very first part of the log (where the build script is looking for and verifying system components like compilers and libraries) could prove to be more useful. On my system the package builds and installs fine (I just tested to make certain) and it also builds fine in a clean chroot (I test-build all my packages in a clean chroot before I publish them to the AUR) which means that, on vanilla Arch at least, everything seemingly works as it should.

So unless I'm missing something obvious, my best guess would be that the fault lies with some incompatible library of BigLinux. Since AFAIU it's based on Manjaro, maybe you could try spinning up a Manjaro VM and see if you can build Zoneminder there. Not that this would be a completely foolproof method (after all, even if it turns out to also be broken on Manjaro, that still doesn't mean it's broken on Arch or in general) but it might give you some clue about the underlying issue.

@vectorspacexyz I contacted the developer about your issue and he confirmed IO::Interface as a missing Perl module dependency, so kudos to you for noticing and reporting it :)

@cowboycraig Well, for starters you're actually trying to install zoneminder-git which is a different package. Also, the douche who saw fit to copy-paste my PKGBUILD failed to add the new source URL as HTTPS and thus the connection attempt fails because GitHub refuses plain HTTP connections, and that's why the setup fails for you.

@vectorspacexyz I don't see anything about perl-io-interface in upstream's dependency lists. Do you maybe have an error you could show me that you get when that package is not installed? Also, can anybody else please confirm this as an issue?

@eshep Hmm, weird. Since you said you hadn't bothered digging into this for the past few days, have you by any chance tried your luck with this latest version? The mime.types thing is indeed an issue with the Nginx package, I too was baffled by it having gone missing.

My install fails with this error, any idea why?

(SEEMS LIKE REPO ISN'T THERE?)

Thanks! cowboycraig

perl-io-interface should be added as a dependency for zmonvif-probe.pl to work.
