Any way to force package manager to continue despite 404 error?

Support AUR

I’m trying to install xairedit, and the build is failing due to a 404 error - but the file that is causing it appears to just be a .pdf file of the EULA. If there’s any way to allow pamac to continue despite that error that would be great.

Here’s the output:

You could download the PKGBUILD, modify it, and then use makepkg to build the package, and pacman to install it.

Well it’s off to question the repository of all human knowledge then! :smile:

Thanks for the nudge in the right direction.

You could also read the comments on the AUR page. :wink:

Dude… THANK YOU! I was grinding my way through editing the PKGBUILD - what a learning process! Slowly and steadily making my through ERROR after ERROR… and I could’ve done this!

Thanks for saving me mondo time!
