Update of cachy-browser fails

Issues & Assistance
1

Since recently (I don’t know the exact date or cause) an update results in a failed update of cachy-browser. Also for some reason, the update of cachy-browser perform a clean build & compile.
I already uninstalled cache-browser and re-installed without success

What can I do to prevent this compilation error:

7:30.25 make[4]: *** [/home/eljejer/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS/cachy-browser/src/firefox-133.0.3/config/makefiles/rust.mk:506: force-cargo-library-build] Fout 101

It looks like you are installing the package from the repository aur/cachy-browser instead of cachyos/cachy-browser.

Try “yay cachy-browser” (or paru).

This is either due:

  • Python rebuild
  • You are applying -march=native, which does not work currently with llvm 18 (llvm19 will fix it)

Thanks, but I do not follow.
I simply do a yay -Syyu and then cachy-browser does not install…

I don’t know how I would refer to aur.
Nor don’t I know how to obtain the browser from the CachyOS repo in stead

yay cachy-browser gives:

❯❯ /home/eljejer : yay cachy-browser
3 aur/browserpass-cachy-browser 3.8.0-1 (+1 0.10) (Orphaned) 
    Cachy Browser extension for Browserpass, browser extension for zx2c4's pass (password manager)
2 aur/cachy-browser-firefox-shim 110.0.1-1 (+0 0.00) (Orphaned) 
    A symlink for using Cachy Browser as Firefox
1 aur/cachy-browser 133.0.3-1 (+7 1.47) 
    Community-maintained fork of Firefox, focused on privacy, security and freedom.
==> Packages to install (eg: 1 2 3, 1-3 or ^4)

My bad; turns out I somehow must have overwritten the CachyOS pacman.conf with another (non CachyOS) one.
All good now. Sorry for your trouble

Ahh, that’s your problem. You are missing the cachyos repo. You probably only have the v3 or v4 or zen4 repo, and since @ptr1337 explained that this version currently doesn’t build, it isn’t available anymore in those repos… and your system doesn’t see the version in the normal cachyos repo as you don’t have it.

“yay cachy-browser” should give you 4 options (look at number 2):

4 aur/browserpass-cachy-browser 3.8.0-1 (+1 0.10) (Orphaned) 
    Cachy Browser extension for Browserpass, browser extension for zx2c4's pass (password manager)
3 aur/cachy-browser-firefox-shim 110.0.1-1 (+0 0.00) (Orphaned) 
    A symlink for using Cachy Browser as Firefox
2 cachyos/cachy-browser 133.0.3-1 (70.0 MiB 240.1 MiB) [cachyos]
    Community-maintained fork of Firefox, focused on privacy, security and freedom.
1 aur/cachy-browser 133.0.3-1 (+7 1.47)

in /etc/pacman.conf , under your v3 or v4 or zen4 repos, you should have:

[cachyos]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/cachyos-mirrorlist

[core]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Make sure it is there, and then try again.

Edit: I see you posted while I was typing. Good job. :+1:
