Can't install ProtonVPN package from AUR
I tried to follow these instructions on the Arch Wiki and install this package from the AUR, but I can't install the official ProtonVPN client:
Code:
[austin@archlinux ~]$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/protonvpn.git |
This is the PKGBUILD for that

You may want to try this one https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.g...=protonvpn-gui https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?K=protontechag&SeB=m https://github.com/ProtonVPN/linux-app https://github.com/ProtonVPN/linux-a.../protonvpn_gui |

protonvpn-cli Code:
protonvpn-gui |
That's why I posted the PKGBUILD
Code:
pkgdesc="Official ProtonVPN metapackage that installs protonvpn-gui and protonvpn-cli, maintained by the ProtonVPN team." Here is protonvpn_gui https://github.com/ProtonVPN/linux-a.../protonvpn_gui Looks like a bunch of python. https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.g...=protonvpn-gui protonvpn-cli https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.g...=protonvpn-cli https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/protonvpn-cli You might want to contact the maintainer for more instructions. Also look at the comments. Quote:

In cases like this, you need to search the arch wiki on how to install AUR packages, and how dependencies on the AUR work. Tip: there is a page named "AUR" on the arch wiki. It says: " If the package depends on other AUR packages, you will need to manually install them first." It really is as simple as that. All in all you need to understand that the AUR is not Archlinux' package management. It's all explained on Arch wiki. |
Just did the same thing, had no issues whatsoever.
Code:
yay -Rcsn protonvpn |

There's nothing wrong with that, but ArchLinux recommends to do it manually with makepkg - at least at first, to understand what the AUR is and how it works, which is what OP is doing. Again: the AUR is not ArchLinux package management. Neither is yay. While the AUR is growing, it is imperial to understand how it ties in with pacman. |

That's not the point, point is that if it worked, it means there's no issues with any of the packages. OP just needs to uninstall all the old packages that have issues, and install the new packages in the correct order. |

I don't know if you managed to compile/run ProtonVPN, but I chose an easier way out: downloaded their .ovpn config, installed openvpn and:
