@itsme I came here with the same issue as fenouil; I believe it can be solved by adding a line like this to the PKGBUILD (like the official swaylock package does):

backup=('etc/pam.d/swaylock')

@loqusion added, thank you.

There should be a line like this in the PKGBUILD (provides alone isn't enough):

conflicts=('swaylock')

Otherwise, you get these errors when trying to install with swaylock already on your system:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)

@fenouil I haven't found any package-level solution to the problem, it's more of a bug.

This may be helpful: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman#Skip_file_from_being_upgraded

Every time a new swaylock-effects package is installed, if there is a diff, the PAM config file /etc/pam.d/swaylock is renamed to /etc/pam.d/swaylock.save and a fresh /etc/pam.d/swaylock is installed in place. I'm not sure but I think it's done without warning. Therefore it not make use of .pacnew convention, so pacdiff tool doesn't "see" it.

@kunev added, thank you.

This also builds and runs on aarch64 with no issues, so it would be nice to arr that to arch in in the PKGBUILD.

https://github.com/jirutka/swaylock-effects/releases/tag/v1.6.11 merges the fixes for sway 1.8 as well, so you could switch back to jirutka's fork.

And aside from mortie making a release, what was the reason to switch away from the 'jirutka' branch? wasn't the reason back then that 'jirutka' had the upstream swaylock changes, while mortie didn't?

edit: saw the release notes now: https://github.com/mortie/swaylock-effects/releases/tag/v1.6-4
