I personally think that package maintainers must check for wrong signatures more often ... Since august we receive messages
-> Found ddd-3.4.1.tar.gz ==> Validating source files with sha1sums... ddd-3.4.1.tar.gz ... FAILED ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check! -> error making: ddd-exit status 1
So when is that going to be solved?

@codazoa I had the same problem.
After running ddd using the terminal (
$ ddd
) I had multiple warning messages saying something like : "Cannot convert string "...." to type FontStruct"After a couple of research and spending hours to find a fix, I've finally found this : "Some programs only work with bitmap fonts. Two major packages with bitmap fonts are available, xorg-fonts-75dpi and xorg-fonts-100dpi." (From the AUR : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xorg)
So basically, you need to run this command :
And get the xorg-fonts-XXdpi (with XX = 75 or 100) that is closer to the output value of the command above.
You can install a xorg-fonts package using pacman :
Once you've done that, run :
Then reboot and everything should work.
