PACKAGE_INFO_CMD ==> Bad Request about arch-update HOT 8 CLOSED

These are not variables, they are just initial value put in variables. Easier to spot than empty values.

Now, either the pacman call does not work, or the output fetching does not work. When you have a update and can check if something appears in log me may have more info towards one or the other ...

Hi, items are parsed from the output of pacman -Si.
It looks for Repository and Architecture lines.

Do you have those on Manjaro ?

$ LANG=C pacman -Si cmake 
Repository      : extra
...
Architecture    : x86_64
...

from arch-update.

LANG=C pacman -Si cmake
Repository : extra
Name : cmake
Version : 3.29.3-1
Description : A cross-platform open-source make system
Architecture : x86_64
...
(Manjaro Gnome uses zsh - no change using bash ...)

xdg-open --help
xdg-open -- opens a file or URL in the user's preferred
application

Synopsis

xdg-open { file | URL }

from arch-update.

REPO and ARCH in the url are placeholders that should be replaced with real values fetched from pacman -Si
That's really strange, it should work from what you pasted there.

Anything in log ?
Maybe run a journalctl -f in a terminal and try to open a package info, see if something about it prints.

from arch-update.

There is currently no update.
But why are this two placeholders not replaced?
All variables start with a $ and those don’t?
pacman -Si gives "an output" and parts are taken to fill /%2$s/%3$s/%1$s

from arch-update.

I asked in manjaro forum, may this help?

You are heading in the wrong direction. xdg-open is working as intended. If the extensions asks it to open "https://archlinux.org/packages/REPO/ARCH/cmake/" then that's what it's doing.. xdg-open is not responsible for REPO/ARCH replacement, it juste serves as a tool to open a url.

The issue you have is within the extension, when it comes to populate the "%2$s/%3$s/%1$s" part of the command, which is eventually replaced by REPO/ARCH (the placeholders) instead of extra/x86_64 (the values that shoudl be fetched from pacman -Si)

from arch-update.

Today:

Anything in log ?
Maybe run a journalctl -f in a terminal and try to open a package info, see if something about it prints.
==> journalctl -f ==> systemd[876]: Failed to start Application launched by gnome-shell.
The paket to update was "mkinitcpio", and the resulting URL in Firefox is:
https://archlinux.org/packages/REPO/ARCH/mkinitcpio/
404 - Page Not Found
correct: https://archlinux.org/packages/core/any/mkinitcpio/ ==> REPO=core and ARCH=any...
BUT: the version for ARCH differ from Manjaro so that this feature is not useful for Manjaro-users
and therefore: do not use it with Manjaro.
