Epson printer driver download page seems to be broken quite a while now :'(

Thanks @uwe, that fix worked on my machine, updated the PKGBUILD @lukas.fink1 your fix seemed to not work for me, same error like before

It does not work for me. I had to add one line in "build" section after "cd":

autoreconf -f -i

Got it from here: https://github.com/apereo/mod_auth_cas/issues/97

What worked for me was changing the build function to this:

build() {
  cd "$pkgname-$pkgver"
  aclocal
  autoconf

  ./configure --prefix=/usr \
              --with-cupsfilterdir=/usr/lib/cups/filter \
              --with-cupsppddir=/usr/share/ppd
  make
}

(I don’t know how to do newlines here so: https://pastebin.com/3ARnHjqy) This seems to rebuild aclocal.m4 and configure with the installed version of the GNU Build System.

I am getting an exception when building the new version (1.0.27) of this package, saying "'automake-1.15' is missing on your system". The automake in the Arch repos is 1.16.1 - I assume thats the problem? If someone else has the problem and knows how to fix it, I can update the PKGBUILD

Looks like it's broken again. Along with the first one

you always have a stay on top of them. thanks very much for link and hash, updated

looks like they did it again... https://download3.ebz.epson.net/dsc/f/03/00/08/18/36/2720920e2f74303ecaaed1b4ded05bef250abce7/epson-inkjet-printer-escpr2-1.0.23-1lsb3.2.src.rpm
