Using an AUR helper such as yay to build packages including backintime is HIGHLY discouraged. The recommended build method is to use a clean chroot. See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot

I wrote a script that automates much of that called clean-chroot-manager offered here in the AUR.

Please stop posting build failures because you insist on building with yay or other AUR helpers.

I have just fixed my non-working fix for the failing unit test in BiT on the dev branch (see my issue comment: https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/issues/1429#issuecomment-1646667642)

@pipep @leonardof @graysky

Thanks for reporting and testing, this made it easier for me to recognize my mistake.

Note: The fix is not yet contained in a new release of BiT so make sure to use the HEAD of the dev branch of BiT

I guess it was related to having the package installed in the same system?

I had the same problem, not a clean chroot but not using any helper either, just cloning this AUR repo and running makepkg in a subdir of $HOME. It worked after uninstalling backintime 1.3.2 (installed from this same PKGBUILD), even if I'm using Wayland.

It works in a chroot, I guess it's related to Wayland

AUR helpers are not helpful.

I confirm that installing version 1.3.3-4 using yay fails. I tried it on my main system, and on a minimal system I use on virtualbox for testing. Both failed.

Install log: https://gist.github.com/pippep/c7a67fd12f38b9654a3f092dd9d9ce37

Instead, building in a clean chroot following https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot#Classic_way is successful without any problem.

Edit: added install log.

@Alad - building in a clean chroot? I cannot reproduce the error.

Alad commented on 2023-05-19 13:15 (UTC)

1.3.3-4 fails with the same error

graysky commented on 2023-05-18 06:34 (UTC)

1.3.3-4 contains upstream fix for python3.11

@leonardof

THX for reporting, this is a known issue and already fixed in BiT (dev branch) but not yet contained in this AUR pgk (which seems to use the most-recent released version):
