Arch Linux User Repository

@realmatrix23 It looks like that's an upstream bug. I was able to reproduce it by using pip install in a venv. It looks like they changed how they're building the package still working out the kinks. The last one that fully provides the rtslib_fb module name is version 2.1.76.

get the following error:

sudo targetcli status

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/targetcli", line 5, in <module> from targetcli.targetcli_shell import main File "/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/targetcli/targetcli_shell.py", line 33, in <module> from targetcli.ui_root import UIRoot File "/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/targetcli/ui_root.py", line 31, in <module> from rtslib_fb.utils import ignored ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rtslib_fb.utils'; 'rtslib_fb' is not a package

I'm trying to follow the archlinux wiki article on iscsi target, and it says this package includes target.service. I do see upstream provides that. Is there a reason it's no longer included?

Needs git in makedepends.

Here's a correctly working PKGBUILD and Patch

PKGBUILD for 2.2.0 (probably needs further work/cleanup):

I see that the packages is installed in 3.12 path but today the python env is 3.13 . Probably the package should be updated somehow?

Updated for 2.1.76. target.service was internalized so there's a minor path change.
