@oberon2007 - figured it out! Even rebooting doesn't seem to be sufficient, but, this does the trick (so, removed appimagelauncher before doing this):

sudo systemctl restart systemd-binfmt

Then you can run makepkg or yay or whatever you wish :)

gconf, unfortunately still, needs to be a hard dependency:

ledger-live-desktop: error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Excellent - glad it's worked for you @Eothred :)

Thanks guys, had the same issue as you I think, removing appimagelauncher and restarting binfmt as @DescartesHorse suggested worked for me.

Thanks a lot for your effort! I will try that tomorrow! :)

@oberon2007 - looks like we'll have to figure out how/where it's installed itself, and then rip it out manually (arch package doesn't seem to remove it properly). About to head to sleep, but this page details how it integrates:

@Cpt_Pi - thanks :D

@oberon2007 - does the same thing happen when using makepkg? Having said that, I completely removed it an reinstalled using yay myself, and had no issues whatsoever :/ Maybe remove the cache directory for this package in yay?

rm -rf ~/.cache/yay/ledger-live-bin

Edit: Just installed appimagelauncher and can confirm that with that installed, I cannot extract/build the package! After removing it, everything is still broken. Haha

It's very strange, indeed, @DescartesHorse. Especially since I was just recently able to install 1.7.0 with your PKGBUILD just fine. The only difference I could think of is that I have installed appimagelauncher since. Removing that one however also doesn't help. For some reason running the file with --appimage-extract doesn't work at all on my system. Seems like something is missing but I wasn't able to figure out what that could be. The download is definitely ok, double-checked and I am even able to run the downloaded file with appimagelauncher just fine.

@DescartesHorse, congratulations on the baby!
