Arch Linux User Repository

What worked for me was

pamac checkupdates -a --devel
pamac upgrade -a --devel

Where -a stands for aur and --devel for development packages.

Since the --devel flag checks if behind the development packages (like "*-git" packages) there are any newer versions, it will update to the latest version of the package in git and not require and update on the aur listing

Please stop flagging this AUR as out-of-date unless you have tried these:

If you use a proper AUR helper (e.g paru, yay) this AUR will be use the latest commit of the Github repo. If you use pamac, it will not update based on the latest commit automatically and you should do pamac install --upgrade flameshot-git to force it to check for upgrades. Therefore, this AUR cannot become out-of-date unless the Github URL or dependencies get out of date.

I have the following error while trying to install the package with yay:

I have checked that all dependencies are installed on my system. Based on this issue, it's suggested that something could be wrong with the PKGBUILD file, but it's pretty old, and I assume that this problem has been fixed since.

Thanks.

@fontskeepmeawake Thank you for the comment. This issue was also reported in https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/issues/4241 which I'm trying to solve, but I'm still facing some issues:

https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/issues/4241#issuecomment-3300067860

Any insights or suggestion is very welcome.

I think kdsingleapplication should be listed as a dependency. My AUR manager refuses to build the package because it's using it's own bundled version of the library and it's conflicting with the package manager version of said library which I already have installed

Thanks for everyone's comment, Now that we moved to Qt6 in the main repo, the dependencies are changed to reflect that too.

As @m0r4a and @c02y's comments show,kguiaddons5 should be replaced with kguiaddons, and all qt5-xxx changed to qt6-xxx(including qt5-base,qt5-svg and qt5-tools).

I think qt6-tools is required now

The latest version needs package kguiaddons which is v6.

You should remove -DUSE_WAYLAND_GRIM as it was replaced by a config option in https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/pull/3943

I'm having an issue where flameshot only screenshots the main monitor when I launch it with flameshot gui, any idea how to solve that?

@earlybird

Can you check the pkgbuild to see what is wrong with it?

qt-color-widgets - error cmake version

-DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5

add this line to the cmake

Thanks for bringing this up, but this was not an issue with AUR, but rather the cmake dependency in the main project. It was fixed in #3901 and the AUR now builds.
