Maybe the ":" in the version name is the problem

Description    : Allows switching between the integrated and the dedicated graphics cards on NVIDIA Optimus laptops

Here is the output. But I think that is only a problem of the terminal language. If I set it to "LANG=en_US.UTF-8" everything works fine.

What output do you get with: pacman --sync --info python

If the installation fails, it may be due to the language setting of the terminal.

My solution:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8 pacaur -S optimus-manager-git

or

LANG=en_US.UTF-8 bash

pacaur -S optimus-manager-git

Ah sorry, that's right. I didn't notice that was an option.

Opened a request for that.

@es20490446e this package still builds fine for me, what's the issue?

I don't mind switching to a rolling release and deprecating this package in favor of optimus-manager-git. But how about submitting a request to merge optimus-manager into optimus-manager-git, rather than outright deleting it? That way votes and comments will be carried over.

@Muflone @Askannz This package will be an exact clone of optimus-manager-git, hence having it does nothing.

Delaying the release of optimus-manager makes no sense to me, because I can instantly test every commit on my computer.

And right now this package no longer builds.

@Askannz do you agree on deleting this package as per @es20490446e request?

I usually don't ask maintainers opinion for co-maintainers requests but this package has a lot of votes which would be lost after the deletion

Fixed this issue on my side, and notified the required changes to optimus-manager-qt.

Subscribe to that package to know when it is completely fixed.
