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.

@gumper: same problem!

When I try to build this the source package does not pass the md5sum check.

Updated PKGBUILD with corrected logic for building the GUI (or not)

@k0Do You need to check GUI_ENFORCE when you are checking for KDE and Gnome, just like you do when they are not found. Alternatively, you could just wrap all the checks in a if [[ ${GUI_ENFORCE} == 1 ]] ; then If you just unset _type, you end up with a bunch of unneeded dependencies. Further, I think python2-gnomekeyring and python2-keyring are only needed if you have a gui, so should only be added to $depends if $_type is not empty.

@danial_shub I did the GUI_ENFORCE patch cause it won't work else for Xfce, Enlightenment etc. If you unset _type and set GUI_ENFORCE=0, there shouldn't be a GUI at all. Alternatively, you could remove the package checks completely.

@orschiro While the source code is split into common, KDE, and Gnome branches I don't think it makes much sense to split the package. I think just making the PKGBUILD respect the GUI_ENFORCE option would be enough.

@daniel_shub I assume you are right that the keyring is only needed for the GUI/Gnome version. Maybe it does make sense to split the package into a GUI and non-GUI version?

It seems if you set GUI_ENFORCE=0, but have KDE/Gnome installed that you will still get the gui. Further, if GUI_ENFORCE=0 and you don't have KDE/Gnome installed, I am not sure that either python2-gnomekeyring or python2-keyring are dependencies. Can someone confirm this?
