Error when updating or installing Koreader v2024.11

[Asher]

The build function has an error easily fixable, you need to change the extension of the file from data.tar.zst to data.tar.xz.

Not sure why this has been posted here. The fix is already in the comments of the AUR (en) - koreader-bin page:

typo in the fix, it’s zst not rst

sed -i -e 's/\.tar\.zst/.tar.xz/' PKGBUILD

It has worked. Many thanks for your hint, lostatsea.

It looks like the compression format has changed to xz. If you are getting the error

tar: data.tar.zst: Cannot open: No such file or directory

then change the PKGBUILD using

sed -i -e 's/\.tar\.rst/.tar.xz/' PKGBUILD

and retry.

When I am trying to build koreader-bin 2024.11-2 I get the following error message:

tar: data.tar.zst: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
