Not working on arch linux about volctl HOT 9 CLOSED

I'm not sure what is the right thing to do to force a rebuild in case of a Python version upgrade. Bumping the revision number would still leave a time window in which the package would break for users unless AUR package authors would closely monitor the Python package version and bump in the exact right moment.

I found this which is the exact same case (for Python 3.5 to 3.6 switch). Personally I just rebuilt my AUR Python 3.8 packages by looking into what was left inside /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages. Pretty much what is also suggested in the aforementioned thread.

If there's some recommended, foolproof way of automating rebuilds, I'll be happy to add it to the package.

If you'd provide more specifics, I might be able to help you.

Kinda sounds like a missing rebuild for python 3.9

from volctl.

How can I get the missing rebuild?

from volctl.

You probably need to do it as this is only available from the AUR. And those are built from source.
Rebuild it with makepkg or the AUR helper of your choice

If you'd provide more specifics, I might be able to help you.

I'll provide it:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/volctl", line 33, in <module>
    sys.exit(load_entry_point('volctl==0.8.0', 'gui_scripts', 'volctl')())
  File "/usr/bin/volctl", line 22, in importlib_load_entry_point
    for entry_point in distribution(dist_name).entry_points
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/importlib/metadata.py", line 524, in distribution
    return Distribution.from_name(distribution_name)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/importlib/metadata.py", line 187, in from_name
    raise PackageNotFoundError(name)
importlib.metadata.PackageNotFoundError: volctl

I did a fresh pull and rebuilt, with the same result. I also happen to have an older version (0.6.3-1) around, which throws the same error.

I did a huge update yesterday -- many Python packages where upgraded -- so can't really do some simple downgrades to see where the error is coming from.

Hope this helps.

The volctl Python package is not found on your system. Without knowing your Linux distro and installation method, it's only a shot in the dark. If you're on Arch, just use whatever AUR helper suits you or clone the repo and use makepkg manually.

On other distros you should probably clone the repo and sudo ./setup.py install manually, use a virtualenv or use another method of installation which is appropriate for your distro.

Oh, sure, I am coming from an Arch system, and had built the package from AUR. Sorry that I wasn't clear about this yet.

Unfortunately I'm not close to this machine and can't test the packet again. I do realise that I actually didn't rebuild, but rather only reinstalled it.

I'll let you know once I've rebuilt and reinstalled it again.

from volctl.

Allright, I did a rebuild now it is working again. Sorry for the hassle.

Would you mind to bump the revision number over in AUR? I don't use any AUR helper myself, but I guess this might be happening on other machines as well.
