Please refrain from abusing the flagging of a package as out of date for build issues. This is not what it is supposed to be used for.

I automatically get notified of comments to this package. I do not need to be notified of whatever build problems occur (whether they are an individual's problems or the actual package's problems) twice, and not via flagging it out of date.

Issues with this package can also be reported at https://codeberg.org/librewolf/issues/issues (as it is also maintained there, at https://codeberg.org/librewolf/arch, too).

Can someone help me? Whenever I try to build the package I get this error. http://dpaste.com/G3BZYFJUY I have tried @nobyte's patch but it yields no change.

You could probably somehow solve this (in a clean way) by using a python virtual environment with the right package version of psutil, but I don't know how to do that.

But here's a (somewhat dirty) work around. Downgrade the python-psutil package to the required version:

sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/p/python-psutil/python-psutil-5.8.0-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
  • Downgrade to the required version:
sudo downgrade python-psutil

  • Choose right version

  • Set whether to ingore updates for this package (both options have pros/cons so choose what suits you better)

  • I installed some other packages to satisfy 'pip check', but this is dependant upon your installed packages and might not even be relevant to the Librewolf build

pacman -S python-brotli
pacman -S python-pybcj
pacman -S python-cmd2
  • As far as I understood there are many cases in which 'pip check' will complain about python packages that are irrelevant for the build of Firefox/Librewolf, so if the check fails, it's totally unnecessary for the build to stop then. See here : https://bugs.gentoo.org/828604#c5 ... so there was some patch and apparently some code was removed to resolve this ... the code isn't there anymore in the current BUT STILL the pip check runs and complains about some packages ... so I grep'ed through the source for "pip check" and found src/firefox-102.0/python/mach/mach/site.py ... I made a patch to comment the code that raises the failed pip check to an exception ... you can insert the text below in a file called librewolf_mach_site.py_disable_pip-check.patch in your build dir (on my system it is /var/tmp/pamac-build-user/librewolf). The content of the file:
--- a/python/mach/mach/site.py
+++ a/python/mach/mach/site.py
@@ -1118,10 +1118,10 @@
         if check_result.returncode:
             subprocess.check_call(pip + ["list", "-v"], stdout=sys.stderr)
             print(check_result.stdout, file=sys.stderr)
-            raise Exception(

  • Then you need to edit the PKGBUILD (in my case in /var/tmp/pamac-build-user/librewolf) so that it finds and applies the patch before build ...
  • Add the name of the patch file from the previous step at the end of the sources list
source=(""
        ...
        "librewolf_mach_site.py_disable_pip-check.patch")

  # apply patch to disable pip check
  patch -Np1 -i ../librewolf_mach_site.py_disable_pip-check.patch
  • Start new build ... there may still be a warning about pip check, but instead of stopping the build should then continue

Hi. I have the same error as https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/librewolf#comment-864414:

Running "pip check" to verify compatibility between the system Python and the "mach" site.
...
psutil<=5.8.0,>=5.4.2: Installed with unexpected version "5.9.0"
...
Exception: The "mach" site is not compatible with the installed system Python packages.

How can i solve this? Thx

I'm on Manjaro x64, Linux 5.14, installing using yay -S librewolf

Hey :) I'm having issues building Librewolf on Chaotic-AUR, currently the build fails after profiling. Any idea what might causing this? (full logs)

Setting to pip, make it build here to: export MACH_BUILD_PYTHON_NATIVE_PACKAGE_SOURCE=pip

Have this error, could anybody explain what's wrong and what should I do?

Changing MACH_BUILD_PYTHON_NATIVE_PACKAGE_SOURCE from system to pip fixed "The "mach" site is not compatible with the installed system Python packages." error for me.

Hm. Seems like my assumption that the pip/py environment issues were finally addressed upstream were wrong Oo

I need to look into that.

A workaround might be to build in a clean chroot until I've found a solution.

/edit

gentoo adds an additional PIP_NETWORK_INSTALL_RESTRICTED_VIRTUALENVS=mach env var to their ebuild – that might be worth a try until I've looked into this further and/or dug up some patches.
