Arch Linux User Repository

I was getting the same error when trying to build manually with makepkg.

Using paru with the Chroot option enabled in /etc/paru.conf worked.

I'm experiencing the same errors as other users.

I have the same issue as @thesheeep, including when running makepkg, not a helper, with the altered PKGBUILD (as well as a few other download urls I tried that should have had the right checksum)

Please stop discussing aur helpers and only report problems reproducible with makepkg. AUR helpers are not supported. Thanks.

The hash I use is the one displayed on pypi.org page.

It can be a problem with the aur helper that doesn't follow the pypi predictable url which redirects (with a 302 http response) to the real package url

In my case I use yay as aur helper

The helper cache is clear, yes.

@thesheeep

Did you clean the aur helper cache before constructing the package? I use the pypi source archive that differs from the github one.

Same issue as @bonan. But pbordon's suggestion did not fix it for me. Instead, I get another error with that change:

Building python-pathvalidate... ==> Making package: python-pathvalidate 3.2.1-1 (Sat Aug 24 14:48:52 2024) ==> Checking runtime dependencies... ==> Checking buildtime dependencies... ==> Retrieving sources... -> Found python-pathvalidate-3.2.1.tar.gz ==> Validating source files with sha256sums... python-pathvalidate-3.2.1.tar.gz ... FAILED ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check! Failed to build python-pathvalidate

@bonan: replace source and sha256sums in PKGBUILD file by the following:

source=("$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz::https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/source/p/pathvalidate/pathvalidate-$pkgver.tar.gz")
sha256sums=('f5d07b1e2374187040612a1fcd2bcb2919f8db180df254c9581bb90bf903377d')

I'm unable to package the latest update:

Make sure you're either building from a fully intact git repository or PyPI tarballs. Most other sources (such as GitHub's tarballs, a git checkout without the .git folder) don't contain the necessary metadata and will not work.

For example, if you're using pip, instead of https://github.com/user/proj/archive/master.zip use git+https://github.com/user/proj.git#egg=proj
