I tried this last night as I've been on a vacation for the last week so I didn't want to tinker with my phone much, and it didn't work sadly. I will have to wait until I get home to register for AUR and comment the issue there. Hopefully it gets fixed soon because that is basically all that stops me from switching over.

What didn't work? I used the PKGBUILD from the AUR, but modified it because it was broken (because of an outdated reference) back then and after that I just kept on updating it myself when a new version was available, so not sure how it differs from the version in the AUR at this point. If you want you can try it with this one, worked for me:

Code:

# Maintainer: Laurent Laffont <lolgzs@gresille.org>

pkgname="axolotl-bin"
pkgdesc="Axolotl binary from deb."
pkgver=1.0.5
pkgrel=1
_pkgver='1.0.5-1'
arch=('aarch64')
url="https://github.com/nanu-c/axolotl/"
license=('GPL3')
provides=('axolotl')
source=(
    "https://github.com/nuehm-arno/axolotl-mobian-package/raw/main/axolotl_${_pkgver}_arm64.deb"
)
validpgpkeys=('0F93160A4198CE8993FE7F53D91B90C8A18672B5') # Laurent Laffont <lolgzs@gresille.org>
md5sums=('aa85b12227b53bd64df9be5b4b8f789e')
noextract=("axolotl_${_pkgver}_arm64.deb")


prepare() {
  bsdtar -O -x -f axolotl_${_pkgver}_arm64.deb data.tar.xz | bsdtar -x -f -
}


package() {
  cp -fR $srcdir/etc $pkgdir/
  cp -fR $srcdir/usr $pkgdir/
}

I am just an idiot, so that was the problem. I used Arch for about 9 months but honestly never built anything from AUR so when I tried `makepkg -si` it gave me errors because I assumed it would have the necessary packages installed to do that. So after I installed those packages everything seems to be fixed.
