I’ve been trying to download "youtube-dl-gui on one my computers for a while, but evidently is not passing the validity check. I suppose I just need to wait until the fix the signature?

Here’s the error message:

The problem is caused by the PKGBUILD having:

pkgver=2.5.7

The source file it is requesting is:

source=("https://github.com/StefanLobbenmeier/${pkgname}/archive/refs/tags/v${pkgver}.tar.gz"

which translates to:

https://github.com/StefanLobbenmeier/youtube-dl-gui/archive/refs/tags/v2.5.7.tar.gz

However, there is no v2.5.7 in the GitHub repository - the most recent is v2.5.6:
