In the latest release of this package I've introduced a workaround to force fresh downloads whenever we bump the package release number, not just the version. This should work around most people's caching issues resulting from upstream's replacing files without changing the filename or versions.

If you hit a checksum error now please flag this package as out of date.

SHA512 sum of Symbola.zip should be changed to '96057c9dbf8a1ab48323d49f727dc00eb8ab66a60e4037b622280d6b84a2c692129e174994a36683ba78bee43e2a2096c4d87ac5c350be78f4d8d6cd7218a528'

It should be reported upstream as a bug, then.

Foxboron commented on 2018-06-13 12:36

It is not a bug. The developer of symbola has changed the file without changing the version. makepkg sees the file and see that you have downloaded it before and uses that. checksum fails. It's expected behaviour.

@kkays you're right, it worked. aurman bug maybe?

kkays commented on 2018-06-13 12:30

@pmatos I had the same error trying to update via aurman. It seems it had a cached version of the zip (ttf-symbola-11.00.zip) that it was using instead of grabbing the new one.

rm -rf ~/.cache/aurman/ttf-symbola and try again, or skip the AUR helper for this update.

@pmatos Updated SHA512 sum for Symbola.zip is be7b3fd8b2070a6713b189c0ee0c6d8aef481eb0c7e476dabfa3eb1a599cc7f3a00f14d7b9ca1f563722d550c098f272f62bb99fc490aba8132ed5ae7de59a7b

@keepitsimpleengr you now need to download it manually. Since it's not redistributable via packaging

That said, this repo doesn't redistribute the font, but the license change might be unexpected for users, so imo rolling back to a freely redistributable version would be better.
