Arch Linux User Repository

OMG! Make a simple thing big. Think befor writing.

Moderation Notice: With the recent changes to it this package does not conform to the Arch Package Guidelines anymore (downloads and executes build instructions, variable naming etc.), please fix this and also have a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/VCS_package_guidelines, otherwise this package will be deleted.

Edit: Okey wow, I have missed some of the changes to this PKGBUILD and reverted them all because it's a somewhat popular package.

Having something like this (additionally to what I have mentioned before) is just a big no-no:

    for Backup in "${Backups[@]}}"; do
        rm --force "${Backup}."{pacnew,pacsave}*
    done

Does using --print-format prevent the translation issue?

One should probably use pacman --sync --print-format "%v" python to get the version of the python package.

The PKGBUILD does not handle the case where "Version" in the output of pacman --sync --info is translated, resulting in the error: Failed to retrieve: PythonVersion.

Yepp!

THX

Fixed: Check now.

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.
