There's no point in creating the /usr/bin/session-messenger-desktop unpackaged symlink in the .install file. This should be replaced by the following commands in the PKGBUILD:

install -Ddm0755 "${pkgdir}"/usr/bin
ln -s /opt/Session/session-desktop "${pkgdir}"/usr/bin/session-messenger-desktop

Also, there's no need to call update-desktop-database/gtk-update-icon-cache in the .install file as pacman hook takes care of that automatically.

This means the .install file can and should be removed.

@sperg512 Hi, do you have have time to update package? You can add me as Co-Maintainer if you need help.

Recently the binary has been complaining about chrome-sandbox not being setuid. I've fixed this by including the following in package():

chmod u+s $pkgdir/opt/Session/chrome-sandbox

Thanks, I forgot about this lol. I will get this updated now (assuming my ISP didn't block SSH again...)

The ln line in the .install file just needs to be changed from

ln -sf /opt/Session/session-messenger-desktop /usr/bin/session-messenger-desktop

to

ln -sf /opt/Session/session-desktop /usr/bin/session-messenger-desktop

(users can run this post-install to temporarily fix the link).

Though I wonder if this belongs in a .install at all and the link should not instead be created in the package() section of the PKGBUILD.

Users are expected to use the desktop file, but I can do that when I have access to my computer. Thanks.

Apparently /usr/bin/session-messenger-desktop was something i made myself some time ago, but yeah it's now /opt/Session/session-desktop. This package should make a symlink, like postinst in .deb does tbh.

Did the filename change?

nekgem2 commented on 2022-07-18 19:42 (UTC) 

% ls -lA /usr/bin/session-messenger-desktop
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 2022-07-18 22:35 /usr/bin/session-messenger-desktop -> /opt/Session/session-messenger-desktop
% ls -lA /opt/Session/session-messenger-desktop
ls: cannot access '/opt/Session/session-messenger-desktop': No such file or directory
