As python 3.8 was replaced by python 3.9, you could run into the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/stapler", line 5, in <module>
    from staplelib import main
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'staplelib'

To solve it, rebuild "python-pypdf2" and then "stapler". Then the directories for Python 3.9 should exist.

Why does it install to /opt ?

$ pacman -Ql stapler

staple-git doesnt do this, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/stapler-git Everything goes nicely into /usr/bin, /usr/share, /usr/lib/python..

@Storm You're right! Thanks, I added it.

Seems like it's also missing a dep to "more-itertools" (available in community).

@cg505 Thanks, I added git.

@PhCl Please add git as a makedepends.

As there is no official release, I changed it now to the last Git tag (master from Dec 15 2019), so Python 2 support is no longer needed. If there is a new release, that hack should be reverted.

In my quick test, the master version works but I cannot claim that I tested all paths.

@m040601, ok. You might start with a list of needed minimal features...

@PhcI

Thanks for your work and attention to this issue.

.......QUOTE: although personally I would prefer an official release......

Yes, I also agree. Went to the stapler github repo, and on a second thought, not yet 100% convinced of that project ability to release. Let's wait.

@oriba:

......QUOTE:it would make sense to have a list of features that really are needed as a minimal replacement for stapler (or pdftk)........

Could not agree more with you. A solid and reliable pdf tool that does this job is a must.

...... QUOTE: I started writing some pdf-tools for myself a while ago,....I might put them on github or so.....

Please do. I'd be happy to provide feedback help with docs etc... (no dev skills)

By the way, apropos PDF tooling, theres the Talk page, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Talk:PDF,_PS_and_DjVu on the excelent Arch Wiki PDF et al tools overview page

@m040601: oh, relly, they did it? Stapler undead?
