It is perfectly compatible with pacman 7.1. Try reinstalling with a fresh build.

The new pacman-contrib 1.13.1-1 makes a check for updates work again. Therefore a re-build of octopi 0.18.1 should suffice (in case of missing libalpm.so.15).

The upcoming upgrade to pacman 7.1.0 and pacman-contrib 1.13.0-2 will break an already installed octopi (missing libalpm.so.15).

A re-build will make octopi start again, but a check for updates will fail (see https://github.com/aarnt/octopi/issues/616).

My workaround for now: $ downgrade pacman 7.0.0 $ downgrade pacman-contrib 1.13.0-1

Per AUR submission guidelines, this is not a -git package because it is "tied to a specific version" of the primary program (octopi). There is no rule that depends (alpm_octopi_utils) affects package naming.

Update: alpm_octopi_utils is pinned. Its commit will not be advanced unless there is a new octopi release and it has had significant changes.

Some motte and bailey going on here.

Nobody mentioned "bit-for-bit identical" builds. He was just asking to pin a commit, a reasonable request. If the "maintenance burden" of occasionally bumping the commit is too much for you, please rename the package to octopi-git as per submission guidelines https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_submission_guidelines#VCS_package_guidelines so that perhaps someone else can shoulder this great burden under the octopi package.

Hello, sorry for late reply, I missed mail notification for this.

I do not understand what you mean by saying that "AUR packages are not reprodicible". I don't think there is a guideline, but I think making PKGBUILD in a way that makes it easier to build reproducibly would be preferred.
