Description
Is this a new report?
Yes
System Info
Void 6.6.29_1 x86_64 Genuine Intel uptodate FF
Package(s) Affected
Anydesk
Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?
No response
Expected behaviour
The expected outcome is that the compilation process for the Anydesk package completes successfully without encountering any checksum mismatch errors. This would allow the package to be built from source and installed on the Void Linux system. However, despite attempts to address the issue by editing the Anydesk template build script, the problem persists. It is suspected that the checksum mismatch error may be due to deprecated package checksums or outdated file versions.
Actual behaviour
When attempting to compile the Anydesk package from source using the xbps-src pkg command, the compilation process halts due to a checksum mismatch error. Specifically, the checksum of one or more source files does not match the expected value, causing the compilation to fail. As a result, the Anydesk package cannot be successfully built from source, preventing its installation on the Void Linux system.
Steps to reproduce
- Clone the void-packages repository:
git clone https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages.git - Navigate to the Anydesk package directory:
cd void-packages/srcpkgs/anydesk - Run the xbps-src command to compile the Anydesk package from source:
./xbps-src pkg - Observe the checksum mismatch error during the compilation process.

Research direction
Start with the Anydesk package under srcpkgs/anydesk and reproduce the failure using ./xbps-src pkg after cloning void-packages. Compare the reported source checksum with the package template and verify that the package builds successfully without a checksum mismatch.
