AUR update rights problem

[Bundy01]

Hi,

Since I deactivated DynamicUsers, I can no longer perform updates from the AUR.

I had set umask=077 in zshrc. I've restored the original permissions, but I'm getting an error message about the permissions of the .local/share/pikaur file. The GroupId and UserId are the same.

I had tried to add the UserId pikaur without creating the associated home, but I couldn't use it.

.local/share/pikaur:

Version: pikaur 1.32

[actionless]

try with pikaur-git instead of pikaur, i was fixing there a similar issue couple of days ago: #863

[actionless]

but I'm getting an error message about the permissions of the .local/share/pikaur file

it would be better if you'll upload the full log as suggested in the issue template

[actionless]

hint, to generate log in english:

env LANGUAGE=en_US pikaur -S --pikaur-debug ....packages...

Installing pikaur-git didn't solve the problem, I'm thinking more of a local configuration error but I don't know where it's coming from.

[actionless]

=> sudo --user=#1000 --preserve-env=VISUAL,EDITOR -- mkdir -p /home/**/.local/share/pikaur/aur_repos/pikaur-git
=> sudo --user=#1000 --preserve-env=VISUAL,EDITOR -- git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/pikaur-git.git /home/**/.local/share/pikaur/aur_repos/pikaur-git

and what happens when you run those commands manually?

[Bundy01]

sudo --user=#1000 --preserve-env=VISUAL,EDITOR...

zsh: no matches found: --user=#1000

sudo --user=1000 --preserve-env=VISUAL,EDITOR...

[actionless]

try quoting the # then 😸

[Bundy01]

The first command was executed successfully.

sudo --user="#1000" --preserve-env=VISUAL,EDITOR -- git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/pikaur-git.git...

fatal: unable to create top-level directories in '/home/**/.local/share/pikaur/aur_repos/pikaur-git': Permission not granted

[actionless]

so, if you having the same problem without pikaur - that's good news (for me 😺)

and what happens when you run:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/pikaur-git.git /home/**/.local/share/pikaur/aur_repos/pikaur-git

(ie all the same arguments, but without sudo in the beginning)

[Bundy01]

Ok, thanks to your command I was able to find the error.
It was the fact that I was isolating git with Firejail.

Thanks, I'm closed.
