Describe the bug
I am unable to install the latest update from version 3.3.4.r626.20251129.72efc44-1 to version 3.3.4.r626.20251129.72efc44-2 with AUR helper rua on Arch Linux. Installation of the old version with rua worked fine. I tried to get help from the Arch Linux AUR at first (see https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/svg2tikz-git#comment-1055655). I was told that it might be an upstream problem, so I'm trying to get help here.

When trying to run "rua upgrade", the end of the output is

?

At the end, I am expected to input something, which I think is a mistake. Could it be that svg2tikz.tex contains an illegal character?

The corresponding lines in svg2tikz.tex look strange to me - like there's a problem with character encoding:

Setup:

  • Mode: running "rua upgrade" from bash
  • SVG2TikZ version: 3.3.4.r626.20251129.72efc44-2
  • OS version: Arch Linux (fully upgraded)
  • Inkscape version: 1.4.3-2

To Reproduce
Run "rua install svg2tikz-git". I did not test on foreign machines if the problem occurs there. I occurs reproducibly for me.

Expected behavior
Installation / upgrade is successfully done without the user having to input text after line
