:: installing plasma-workspace (5.21.0-1) breaks dependency 'notification-daemon' required by kalu-kde

Brilliant. Thank you @dpeukert, that works well. Package updated.

@Rhinoceros Here's a patch:

It looks like upstream has stopped updating kalu, with the last commit over two years ago, on June 2018. I previously patched this package to work as per this issue, but I can't get it to build any more:

/usr/bin/ld: src/kalu/kalu-conf.o:/tmp/kalu-kde/src/kalu-4.3.0/src/kalu/kalu.h:137: multiple definition of `tpl_names'; src/kalu/kalu-main.o:/tmp/kalu-kde/src/kalu-4.3.0/src/kalu/kalu.h:137: first defined here

If anyone has a patch, I'm happy to add it. Please let me know.

Please also note that this AUR package is not out of date. It is consistent with upstream, although there are obviously ongoing issues with upstream's code.

@ZaZam Because upstream hasn't released a new version yet.

@jghodd This package is not out of date. The PKGBUILD version is identical with upstream. True, it doesn't work with the current version of pacman, but that relates to upstream, not this PKGBUILD. You can follow the bug report here [a].

In any case, I've temporarily added the patch that makes kalu(-kde) compatible in the meantime, until upstream updates.

[a] https://github.com/jjk-jacky/kalu/issues/73

Why does this depend on pacman version lower than 5.2?

@pcmoore I'm not really sure, because I don't use that part of it. Perhaps you could report it upstream? I'd probably test with vanilla kalu too, so it's simpler for upstream to find the bug.

Thanks for the update, but I'm having problem when running the graphical updater application:

Error: Could not initiate kalu_updater: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.jjk.kalu: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 127

Help?

@lpc123 Thank you, but I'm afraid you'll have to be more specific. What exactly is the problem?
