NOTICE: This pkgbase is now produces two packages:

  • protonmail-bridge-core: Containing the core daemon & CLI program.
  • protonmail-bridge: Containing the Qt desktop application.

The second package depends on the first. If you don't have a need for the desktop application, you can now choose to only install protonmail-bridge-core.

This packaging change should be seamless and no action should be required before or after the upgrade.

Thanks to @ali.molaei and @BenTheTechGuy for the feedback regarding this change!

Just having pass installed with a key set up wasn't enough for me, I had to follow this: https://pychao.com/2020/06/10/update-on-using-protonmail-bridge-on-headless-wordpress-linux-servers/

@Nocifer You are absolutely right, I hadn't thought about that! Thanks for the tips!

Nocifer commented on 2024-02-22 19:52 (UTC)

@MTL117 You could always do that export yourself in your .bashrc/.profile/etc, this would solve your issue and at the same time accommodate those of us who'd prefer keeping the downloaded Go modules stored for future rebuilds. And of course, if it's not a matter of wasted space but you simply don't want your $HOME polluted with extra folders, you could also point GOPATH to some nested folder like XDG_CACHE_HOME/go/build or some such.

MTL117 commented on 2024-02-22 17:05 (UTC)

May I suggest using export GOPATH=$(mktemp -d) in the PKGBUILD? On my machine go mod download -x downloads all the modules to my home directory (/home/$USER/go) and I have to clean that up after each build.

@ali.molaei thanks, yeah that worked. Sorry for the dumb comment, forgot that was necessary sometimes.

@mranderson17 just rebuild the package with the new grpc

mranderson17 commented on 2024-02-22 15:12 (UTC)

grpc apparently does not provide the required libraries anymore:

protonmail-bridge: error while loading shared libraries: libgrpc++.so.1.60: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Downgrading to grpc-1.60.1-1 from grpc-1.62.0-1 allows protonmail-bridge to start but it's not a permanent solution.

I removed unit tests from the PKGBUILD as it's not our job to run unit tests, it's a development thing internal for the proton team not for the maintainers.

@carsme having the same issue as @BoomLinuxForJeff again.

I have disabled the check() for now and it has worked but thought I'd bring this up in case.

Apparently, 8 hours ago a new version of ProtonMail Bridge was released. I've received an email about this as well:

Dear Proton Mail Bridge user,

If you are using the Windows or Linux version of Proton Mail Bridge, your version of the Bridge application is impacted by an issue that is preventing automatic software updates and may also reduce reliability.

A new version of Bridge has been released which will re-enable automatic updates, which are important for security and reliability. You can update to this new version by downloading and installing the latest Proton Mail Bridge from the link below.

Don't know how relevant automatic updates are for this particular AUR package. Just letting you know. Have a great weekend, everyone!

@carsme, now it appears ok on all my three Arch installations: many thanks!
