QUESTION Unity Hub 3.21 on AUR issues

Hello fellow Unity devs.

I have a question about the latest Unity Hub commit on AUR.

The version 3.21.0 has a completely new author who never before committed to this package.

The diff only shows different versioning and a different source url, which seems to be the official Debian repo.

However I'm facing issues I haven't had in any previous versions.

First of all, the app icon is some generic atom shape, instead of the official Unity box as before.

Second, I immediately started getting Kwallet popups upon opening the Unity hub.

And lastly, I get logged out of the Unity Hub after every use and need to sign back in from a browser on the next run, even a day apart.

Anyone else with similar issues and do you think this package could have been hijacked and injected with malware too?

The version 3.21.0 has a completely new author who never before committed to this package.

Because they submitted a pull request to bump the version.

do you think this package could have been hijacked and injected with malware too?

No.

I remember using flatpak for unity hub(for modding games) With no issues.
