update your mirrors.

"I don't know how to use Arch so I will post onto the Hyprland bug tracker!"

There is no issue with hyprland, the issue is with seatd package installation. I guess the mirrors are down for some reason.

Fix for Arch Users:

1. Manually download the package from the source repo of seats. (repo link)
2. Install the package with the following command
   sudo pacman -U <package-name>
   Example:
   sudo pacman -U seatd-0.7.0-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
3. Now, try installing hyprland again with your preferred AUR helper.
4. paru -S hyprland or if you use yay yay -S hyprland

lol
update your Arch linux mirrors as vaxry said, that is the better solution for your problem!

[adityakrcodes]

I did update the mirrors even before posting the issue here mate.
And it didn't work as it should, so I manually installed seatd.

[vaxerski]

in any case it's not a hl issue???

[Aqa-Ib]

I recommend you to run this command:
sudo reflector --latest 5 --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Note it will overwrite your pacman mirrorlist.

Good luck.

Nope!
Hyprland is all good 👍🏻

Thanks for the help 😄 , but I already did this.

I Installed all the dependencies manually by downloading the installation files. Then it worked that time!
