Since I'm a new user, I didn't get that. Now I understand, thanks.

There is a
conflict
set, that should be enough. You should always check the official repos first, the AUR is an entirely unsupported realm.ynikitenko commented on 2020-11-17 14:13
Now I understand. When I searched Arch Wiki, there was nothing about Kiwix.
When I searched AUR, there were only two packages, including this one.
Maybe add somewhere in the description that a community version exists?

The AUR version is a git package, the community version a fixed "stable" release.

Hm, I didn't even know there is a community version. Why keep an AUR version then? I installed the version using pacman (it doesn't write that it's community, but it seems so). The problems remain. These are problems of the program itself, not its distribution to Arch. I think the rules say that 'upstream bugs should go to their creators'.
P.S. I misunderstood your phrase "If so you should report that bug upstream." - it was reported already. https://github.com/openzim/mwoffliner/issues/1033

Does
kiwix-desktop
in community work fine? If so you should report that bug upstream.ynikitenko commented on 2020-11-17 13:02
Thanks, this is a good program. Unfortunately there is a bug, and Wiktionary articles don't show translation sections (in fact there are several bugs). I use an old binary version of this package, https://download.kiwix.org/archive/kiwix/kiwix-xulrunner/0.10/kiwix-0.10-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 This works fine. I'm not sure whether a separate package should be created for that, but at least let everyone here know about that.

I've taken over the package and updated it to follow the VCS package guidelines.

Regarding the pkgver() function, it should work with something very similar to:
pkgver() { cd "$pkgname"; git describe --long --tags | sed 's/([^-]*-g)/r\1/;s/-/./g' ; }
Regards!
