Important: This package depends on libicuuc and needs to be rebuild if the icu package is updated on your system!

@selmf, I updated with pamac and then with yay, in both cases it still showed the package to install. So I installed it manually with "makepkg -i" (with the changed version in PKGBUILD that @robson gave). Still no luck, package hangs on the update list. I guess I will wait for the official solution.

I have auracle-git installed for AUR update notification https://i.postimg.cc/d0tPHj74/screen.png I think it's enough to just edit PKGBUILD and change pkgver to the correct one.

@michaldybczak Some AUR helpers try to guess if a package update is needed by looking at the git head instead of checking which method pkgver() uses. This will result in the behavior you describe.

@robson Thank you for your comment. It seems that my package is suffering from a subtle bug caused by pdfium's switch from master to main branch. For older source checkouts, master is present and - it seems - no longer receives updates from upstream. This results in pkgver() miscalculating the amount of unique commits on the release branch. I'm looking into the problem right now, but it seems the best way to fix this is to delete the stale pdfium sources and rebuild with a clean checkout.

@robson, I followed your advice, and it didn't help. The package is still showing up on the update list, although it was just updated.

Change pkgver from 5060.r443.558516c323 to 5060.r1.558516c323

Good morning, I have a problem with this package, it is always asking to update, any solution to this problem?

thanks for your help! it's really appreciated! I will follow your guidance and post here any solution I may find! thnx!

@chivras: libpdfium-nojs is a complex package and some of the approaches taken to make the build work can cause problems with AUR helpers, including pamac.

I cannot guess what causes the build to fail for you, but my tests using the standard AUR build process with vanilla makepkg run fine.

As convenient as AUR helpers are, I would recommend that you read the documentation on how to manually build AUR packages on the Arch Linux Wiki and follow this process to make the build work.

Since you seem to get the same error with a different package, you might also want to file a bug against pamac.

That's what i get when i try to install it. normaly terminal vs gui doesn't make a change, right? I get the same result using pamac gui.

@chrivas: Not sure what the issue is in your case, but I checked if megasync builds and it works fine for me.
