@Richardk2n - You're right, texmaker depends on texlive-basic instead of texlive-bin, my initial comment was therefore wrong and it is indeed more complicated. Nontheless, I do wonder, if and how it would be possible to resolve dependencies to texlive packages without requiring manual intervention.

@mhdry Wouldn't the fact that texlive is split into multiple packages cause issues with that? For your example: texmaker depends on texlive-basic which depends on texlive-bin Making miktex conflict with texlive-bin would still lead to texlive-basic getting installed, would it not?

Just curios because I have a fake package installed that is set to conflict with texlive to alert me if I accidentally install it. I would love to have a better solution.

Could you please consider adding:

provides=(miktex texlive-bin)
conflicts=(miktex texlive-bin)

to PKGBUILD, as it is done in miktex-git (AUR)? Packages like texmaker depend on texlive-bin, I don't see the need to install both MiKTeX and TeX Live at the same time but it's rather annoying having to invoke pacman --assume-installed texlive-bin. (By that, of course, I mean, I'm rather lazy and forget when installing MiKTeX...) Is there any other reason why you've left this out?

@Zorn That worked, thanks a lot.

@airaqi: The problem is that, probably in the last hours, Christian Schenk has modified some sources on GitHub (a few days ago everything worked fine). The current md5sum of miktex-23.10.tar.gz is 95ec540a81562b64c2dc97fd173307b9 and not 8c91a0e6d8e22ed346f41cbd47632e0a. To solve the problem you need to download the PKGBUILD, modify md5sum inside it, build the package with makepkg by installing the necessary dependencies by hand. Sorry, no need to install the necessary dependencies by hand; is sufficient to use

makepkg -i -c -r -s

after editing PKGBUILD

Because the executable files of miktex were not linked to common directories, I created the 'miktex-fix' package to solve this problem.

jolitp commented on 2022-11-24 20:11 (UTC) 

No graphical sudo frontend is available. Please install 'pkexec', 'kdesu' (KDE) or 'gksu' (Gnome). Alternatively, you can enter 'sudo miktex-console --admin' in a terminal window.

I'm having the same problem someone else had before.

I'm using KDE and kdesu is installed. 

sudo miktex-console --admin
[sudo] password for jolitp:
sudo: miktex-console: command not found

Anyone has any idea on how to fix it?

Got biber: error while loading shared libraries: libcrypt.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory, fixed by installing core/libxcrypt-compat
