As of 10Jan2025 this fails to build with gettext 0.22

pacman -Q | grep gettext

gettext 0.23.1-2

I tried a simple edits to src/abookpo/Makefile.in.in

GETTEXT_MACRO_VERSION = 0.20 -> GETTEXT_MACRO_VERSION = 0.22 and GETTEXT_MACRO_VERSION = 0.23.1

Still failed with the autoconf macros.

Are the autoconf macros awaiting an update - ie this will resolve on it own with some patience?

Or does it need intervention?

Given the popularity of neomutt/mutt, I hope there is some interest in updating this.

@yourmom777 no it should not be included. automake will be pulled by base-devel group which assumed to be installed when building with makepkg. Wiki

automake should be a dependency

Thank you. It installed properly now.

Since this affects the other abook AUR package, I suspect the issue is upstream. Hopefully, at some point, it is resolved.

Update:

In case other people experience this same issue on other AUR packages, manually adding the PGP key using a different keyserver is an effective solution.

An example for this package (or abook-configdir) would be:

gpg --keyserver hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com/ --search-keys 5B4E2D0DD7F62B21

It seems lately that the default keyserver has been acting up, rather than an issue with abook or this package.

With this, you can put the signature check back, @eugene. All the best.

eugene commented on 2021-07-10 07:17 (UTC)

I removed signature check for now, @seanbrar

seanbrar commented on 2021-07-10 03:09 (UTC)

It doesn't happen when I run abook. I don't have it and I'm trying to install it.

Running 'yay -Syu abook' proceeds normally until it tries to import the PGP keys. It happens on my main machine running Arch as well as a fresh Manjaro VM using Pamac.

How do you run abook to get such error, @seanbrar?

seanbrar commented on 2021-07-09 13:20 (UTC) (edited on 2021-07-09 13:21 (UTC) by seanbrar)

Fails after attempting to import PGP keys. At the moment, the AUR package abook-configdir has the same issue.

The error is:

gpg: keyserver receive failed: No name
problem importing keys
