Ran into weird issue, where AUR package wasn’t able to install properly, because it lacked autoconf
whatever that is. Apparently it’s present in Arch base-devel which was necessary for it to install properly.
Could you kindly add it to Manjaro base-devel? (after installing it manually the AUR package installed nicely, just the AUR package maintainer refuses to add autoconf to dependencies because it kind of is for Arch)
It already is.
You obviously did not actually have the base-devel
group installed. If you did, there would be no reason to manually install a package that was a member of that group.
You’ve been around long enough to know enough.
sudo pacman -Syu --needed base-devel
I had base-devel installed and it wasn’t there when I needed it. Now when I try to reinstall it (base-devel), it sure does say it will install autoconf also. No idea how it possibly got lost.
Check your pacman log.
Once upon a time someone suggested to use: pacman -Qtdq | sudo pacman -Rns -
to remove unnecessary dependencies. Apparently according to pacman.log for some reason this command deemed autoconf
unnecessary
autoconf gets removed with pacman -Qtdq | sudo pacman -Rns -. its part of a few various packages that get cleaned up with the orphan removal.
