Arch Linux User Repository

Since python has recently been upgraded to 3.13, you need to rebuild the package if you installed it last before the upgrade, e.g., with yay (thanks @marco.righi) you can:

yay -S zapzap --rebuildtree  --noconfirm  --rebuild --sudoloop

This PKGBUILD uses a pacman feature to compute checksums in CVS packages, which requires pacman>=6.1.0. If you're coming from Manjaro or an other Arch-based distro with pacman<6.1.0, you need to pass --skipchecksums to makepkg, if building manually, or, if installing with yay, add --mflags --skipchecksums, e.g.:

yay -S --mflags --skipchecksums zapzap

@alllexx88 Sorry for the bother. I had done a full update, but for some reason even after restarting it didn't seem to apply. But as of now, it has started working again because reasons. Regardless, thanks for taking the time to reply.

@Lukhas this looks like a PyQt6 issue, which is provided by python-pyqt6 package. On my system with all packages upgraded I don't get this issue, maybe you did a partial upgrade? I don't see how else this could happen.

@SimonJ sorry for my late reply. While I can reproduce the issue, I unfortunately don't have time to debug it right now. I've looked at https://github.com/rafatosta/zapzap/issues but don't see yours. What you could try is to install the official flatpak package (https://flathub.org/apps/com.rtosta.zapzap) and see if the error persists. If it does, you can create an issue on github (https://github.com/rafatosta/zapzap/issues), if it doesn't, it's AUR specific, and we need to investigate ourselves.

Upon updating I'm getting this on the latest version:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/zapzap", line 5, in <module> from zapzap.__main__ import main File "/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/zapzap/__main__.py", line 9, in <module> from zapzap.controllers.MainWindow import MainWindow File "/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/zapzap/controllers/MainWindow.py", line 5, in <module> from zapzap.controllers.Settings import Settings File "/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/zapzap/controllers/Settings.py", line 2, in <module> from zapzap.controllers.PageGeneral import PageGeneral File "/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/zapzap/controllers/PageGeneral.py", line 5, in <module> from zapzap.services.DownloadManager import DownloadManager File "/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/zapzap/services/DownloadManager.py", line 1, in <module> from PyQt6.QtWebEngineCore import QWebEngineDownloadRequest ImportError: libSvtAv1Enc.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Downgrading svt-av1 down from version 3.0.0-1 (released on March 9th) to 2.3.0 allows the app to start as usual.

EDIT: Not completely related, but KDE's Spectacle screenshot app behaves the same relative to the svt-av1 dependency.

Since two days I am not getting alerts on the tray icon of new messages, if I notice they are in the app and there is a dialog on arrival but if it is missed there is no indication.

To solve

yay -S zapzap --rebuildtree  --noconfirm  --rebuild --sudoloop

I also have this error from today

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

after zapzap execution Bash prompt returns:

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

This is working well. I tested a few other clients and it seems to be the best option (whatsie is very similar but uses more ram). If you need the absolute minimum, nchat is a command line option, very light, but no image support.
