Arch Linux User Repository

I haven't used sqsh regularly in 10 years and no longer have the means to test it. I have disowned the package so that someone else can maintain it.

In order to build sqsh 2.5.16.1-4 you'll need freetds-patched-enum 1.1.42. https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/aur-31ea32fd7c70e8341110dcd17c5ce5b116135f91.tar.gz

@terminalImage I confirm it works with your suggestion. Btw it is a pity the project is not actively maintained anymore.

Thank you.

sqsh is not being actively maintained, I think. I'm not sure, I haven't used it in a while.

I was able to get sqsh to build with version 1.00.94 of freetds-patched-enum. You can access the files needed to build that version by checking out the AUR git repo and then checking out revision 08d0aa1:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/freetds-patched-enum.git
cd freetds-patched-enum
git checkout 08d0aa1

@terminalImage so it means that won't be adapted to the latest version of its dependencies and it will be tied to an old version of freetds (with all security concerns) forever?

Looking for Ubuntu, the freetds version is 1.3.6-1. I tried to build freetds-patched-enum to that version but when I build sqsh, I get the same error...

Could you please inform us which resources and versions we need for making the package usable?

I am able to reproduce. As best as I can tell, this has to do with newer versions of freetds removing constants that sqsh relies on.

You might need to try to build an older freetds-patched-enum.

@terminalImage thank you for the answer. I submitted freetds-patched-enum in Chaotic repo (waiting for approval) in order to mitigate this situation.

However, once installed this dep, I tried to run makepkg -si or use a package manager as paru sqsh, during the building of the package I get the following error:

Can you reproduce it?

The -i flag for makepkg installs the package after building, but the dependencies need to be already installed or available for this to work.

You might want to try using a pacman wrapper.

If you don't want to use a wrapper, then you'll need to manually build freetds-patched-enum and then install it with pacman -U --asdeps freetds-patched-enum-1.3.12-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst, before running your makepkg -si for sqsh.

There's nothing to "fix". It's normal for AUR packages to depend on other AUR packages.

During the "makepkg -si" of its PKGBUILD, I get:

error: target not found: freetds-patched-enum
==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies.
==> Missing dependencies:
  -> freetds-patched-enum
==> Checking buildtime dependencies...
==> ERROR: Could not resolve all dependencies.

"freetds-patched-enum" does not exist in Arch Linux repository, it exists only in AUR, but makepkg uses pacman, so the building fails. Please fix it.

Done. :)
