@chiz Can't reproduce. How are you building the package? It might help to delete the openboard-1.7.5.tar.gz and redownload it.
If that doesn't help, please check the downloaded openboard-1.7.5.tar.gz, run sha256sum openboard-1.7.5.tar.gz on it and paste the result here.
version: 1.7.5-1
error: openboard-1.7.5.tar.gz sha256sums error
@bartus @fsiegert I've added the usual 0BSD licence to this repo as per RFC 40
@Vekhir: Compiled, installed, working, thank you!
I reproduced the issue, then pushed a fix, then did a pkgrel bump to ensure that AUR helpers detect the change. For me, the issue doesn't occur anymore.
Do you reproduce this issue when building 1.7.3-2?
Please check the output. Do you see something like
==> Retrieving sources...
-> Found v1.7.3.tar.gz
-> Found openboard-support-poppler-25.12.patch
==> Validating source files with sha256sums...
v1.7.3.tar.gz ... Passed
openboard-support-poppler-25.12.patch ... Passed
==> Making package: openboard 1.7.3-2 (Sat Dec 13 12:56:24 2025)
The patch file is important, because it contains the fix. If you still have trouble building the package, then I'm sorry to say that I cannot reproduce it.
@Vekhir: A simple bump do not solve the problem, because it happens in the building process.
I'm not familiar with yay. I've done a pkgrel bump, please make sure that yay builds 1.7.3-2
I‘m trying to rebuild a package with yay and got the same error as @tombenko
@urie Yes, you need to rebuild the package, see pinned comment.
Got an error: openboard: error while loading shared libraries: libpoppler.so.154: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Maybe it's caused by the new version of poppler?

@unphysicalix: That's correct, you have to rebuild after dependency packages are updated. Let me make this post sticky to avoid people running into this again and again.
If OpenBoard stops working and when starting it from the command line you get an error message of the type:
Then you most likely just need to rebuild OpenBoard (either with
makepkgor with your favourite AUR helper) because a dependency package has been updated.(That's the one disadvantage of AUR packages. I don't know what the threshold is for the package to be migrated into the community repository instead.)
