Jim, if you see the message during installation which the AUR maintainer
posted, too
==> WARNING: Package contains reference to $pkgdir
please try this
Ad message in AUR (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mythtv-git):
==> WARNING: Package contains reference to $pkgdir
Perhaps recompiling of the python pyc files helps.
See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Talk:Python_package_guidelines
You need to modify PKGBUILD:
Inside the subroutine package(),
after the step `make INSTALL_ROOT="$pkgdir" install`
run
ppath=`find "$pkgdir -type d -name 'MythTV' | grep python`
python3 -m compileall -f -s "$pkgdir" "$ppath"
If it works, please pass the lines to the mythTV AUR maintainer.
Regards,
Roland
