Had the same issue, it's because of this upstream commit https://github.com/elkowar/eww/commit/8b9d65f80072b9e4da1f2457481d5ff363913d32 which replaced a dep which was having it's version patched by this package.

This patch will work if you want to build now. The author's Github repo does not seem to be up to date with their AUR repo otherwise I would make a PR.

sinse systray got added to the main branch I`ve switched to this over the bin package.

Im not sure if this didn`t download the latest build or if my yuck file is incorrect. yuck looks like

(defwidget sidestuff [] (box :class "sidestuff" :orientation "h" :space-evenly false :halign "end" ... (time) (stray) ))

... (defwidget stray [] (systray :pack-direction "down"))

Can confirm that latest commit builds correctly, as anurag said, with cargo update removed from .PKGBUILD.

EDIT: new upstream dependencies are required as well according to documentation https://elkowar.github.io/eww/:

depends=(gtk3 gtk-layer-shell pango gdk-pixbuf2 libdbusmenu-gtk3 cairo glib2 gcc-libs glibc)

I was able to build in chroot with this.

I believe the reason the PGP checks keeps failing is because the author is not signing all commits, thus the signature is invalid or not found and the build fails without makepkg --skippgpcheck.

I think a false-positive failure is worse than having the verification at all, and would suggest removing them.

See latest commit is currently unsigned: https://github.com/elkowar/eww/commit/149727ce1f7dd4f461ab1d61d560546f3d1f32a1

Hi, the cargo update in the prepare() should be removed, this causing build errors on the latest version, as the versions are being changed from what's locked on main.

This builds correctly without the cargo update in prepare, latest main on Github is also building correctly.

In addition to CrumblyLiquid's comment, pubkey '968479A1AFF927E37D1A566BB5690EEEBB952194' is missing in the validpgpkeys field. I was able to build and install the built package afterwards.

The ERROR: One or more PGP signatures could not be verified! error can be fixed by adding 9EFD181455D31DD0F42DA932862BA3D7D7760F13 to the validpgpkeys list in the PKGBUILD.

9EFD181455D31DD0F42DA932862BA3D7D7760F13 is a fingerprint of one of the keys in https://github.com/elkowar.gpg (you can view them with this command: curl -sS https://github.com/elkowar.gpg | gpg -)

Disclaimer: I don't know what I'm doing so use this information with caution!
