Description Moritz Schmidt 2025-06-12 10:08:44 UTC
SUMMARY
running "brew install --cask kde-mac/kde/kdeconnect" results in:
Error: kde-mac/kde/kdeconnect: Download failed on Cask 'kdeconnect' with message: Download failed: https://cdn.kde.org/ci-builds/network/kdeconnect-kde/master/macos-arm64/kdeconnect-kde-master-5081-macos-clang-arm64.dmg

When I open the URL in a browser I get a not found error. When looking at https://origin.cdn.kde.org/ci-builds/network/kdeconnect-kde/master/macos-arm64/ I see that an image for version 5085 exists but none for 5081.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. brew tap kde-mac/kde https://invent.kde.org/packaging/homebrew-kde.git --force-auto-update
2. "$(brew --repo kde-mac/kde)/tools/do-caveats.sh"
3. brew install --cask kde-mac/kde/kdeconnect

OBSERVED RESULT
==> Auto-updating Homebrew...
Adjust how often this is run with HOMEBREW_AUTO_UPDATE_SECS or disable with
HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE. Hide these hints with HOMEBREW_NO_ENV_HINTS (see `man brew`).
==> Upgrading 1 outdated package:
kde-mac/kde/kdeconnect latest -> 5081
==> Upgrading kdeconnect
==> Downloading https://cdn.kde.org/ci-builds/network/kdeconnect-kde/master/macos-arm64/kdeconnect-kde-master-5081-macos-clang-arm64.dmg
curl: (56) The requested URL returned error: 404

==> Purging files for version 5081 of Cask kdeconnect
Error: kde-mac/kde/kdeconnect: Download failed on Cask 'kdeconnect' with message: Download failed: https://cdn.kde.org/ci-builds/network/kdeconnect-kde/master/macos-arm64/kdeconnect-kde-master-5081-macos-clang-arm64.dmg


EXPECTED RESULT
Downloading as expected

Comment 1 Yurii Kolesnykov 2025-06-12 12:02:42 UTC
This situation wouldn't be solved until kdeconnect will start providing releases, for now we are using nightlies for the Cask, which expire from time to time.
