@ant0n et all, lets keep the comments here about packaging issues, general Brave usage issues should go in another forum to not clutter up this comment space. I'm deleting comments that have no relation to packaging. Grey areas like crashes that could be blamed on Arch can stay until proven otherwise, but things like how to configure Brave to handle popups or site X or whatever just don't belong here. Thanks for understanding.

@cikisir This is not the brave package, this is the brave-bin package. This is a binary package, if you see anything compiling then you're probably installing the other package.

Try installing this package and see if your issues persist.

Thanks for the reports everyone, package has been updated to tolerate yet another of Brave team's fuck-ups where they remove the LICENSE files for whatever reason.

Yes, it is messed up at the moment. But, all you have to do is remove the last line in the PKGBUILD because it's looking for license files that don't exist. (This does need to be fixed in the package of course, but if you just want it to install...)

@mixedCase I did try cloning using the link above and run makepkg -si. I still got the same error as @ragouel What other ways are there to update an AUR package? I used YAY.

@mixedcase: Done a yay -G brave-bin.

Entered brave-bin directory. Entered makepkg -s. Broken. Full log:

@ragouel Try not using an AUR helper and post again if you have issues.

@Serial I just tried redownloading again and the checksum checks out fine. Looking at your screen it appears that you're dealing with a bad internet connection and the file ends up being corrupted.

I'd suggest trying two things:

a) Don't use an AUR helper. Clone this package's git repo and run makepkg -si on it.

b) If the problem persists, attempt to download the upstream .zip file from a web browser.
