@dfd Can you please check if this folder exists? /home/user/.cache/paru/clone/ml4w-hyprland/src/dotfiles-2.9.6.1/share/

You can also try to remove the folder /home/user/.cache/paru/clone/ml4w-hyprland and try again.

I just installed ml4w-hyprland-git, which worked fine.

When it failed for this bug, it was trying to access ~/..cache/paru/clone/ml4w-hyprland/src/dotfiles-2.9.6.1/share/.' but it doesn't exist. I had ~/.cache/paru/clone/ml4w-hyprland/src/dotfiles-2.9.6/share/ instead.

@dfd Great. Thanks for your feedback. But still strange why ml4w-hyprland isn’t installing. No issues on my side on Arch Linux.

That happened to me, the problem is this:

' ==> Retrieving sources... -> Found ml4w-hyprland '

You have that file from version 6.9.6.1 and because of that its not downloading the new version of the file.

You have to delete it to download the new version and everything will work OK.

The PKGBUILD file need to to be modified to allow to detect this and download a new version automatically, probable using for the name of the file as pkgname + pkgversion.

Yes. You're right. This could be the reason. Let me check.

@pega2k Just pushed an update of the PKGBUILD file https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=ml4w-hyprland Can you try again if the update is now working?
