Sigh. I want it to extract to spicetify-cli... "cli" is not a very globally unique name...

makepkg works now.

Like this right? "cd ~/.cache/yay/spicetify-cli/ && sed -i 's/"${pkgname}-${pkgver}"/"cli-${pkgver}"/g' PKGBUILD && rm -rf src/ && makepkg -si" I was able to build it. Thank you to the guy below me.

"The current PKGBUILD fails during build(), check(), and package() because it attempts to cd into ${pkgname}-${pkgver} (spicetify-cli-2.43.1), but the source archive actually extracts to a directory named cli-${pkgver} (cli-2.43.1).

Temporary fix for users: Edit the PKGBUILD and change all instances of cd "${pkgname}-${pkgver}" to cd "cli-${pkgver}"."

~/.cache/yay/spicetify-cli/PKGBUILD: line 17: cd: spicetify-cli-2.43.1: No such file or directory ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting... -> error making: spicetify-cli-exit status 4 -> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required: spicetify-cli - exit status 4

Just change to cli-2.43.1

Also stop filing orphan requests because the package is 2 days out of date. This is why I don't talk to other arch users.

[PRQ#80667] Orphan Request for spicetify-cli

JoveYu [1] filed an orphan request for spicetify-cli [2]:

please update to 2.43.1

Seriously? I have a job, I cannot babysit this package. I think you will all survive if the package is out of date for one week.

As I have stated before, this package is set up to auto update. The maintainers released a beta version accidentally and it triggered the auto update script which was not designed to handle it. You're welcome to PR changes to my auto-updater: https://github.com/itsmeow/spicetify-cli-update

I have updated it to no longer do pre-releases.

+1 to why is this even tryna target a beta version, that should be a separate package

easy fix
