I am trying to build my latest ISO and I keep getting this error:
error: target not found: reiserfsprogs

Anyone else having this issue building a new ISO?

reiserfsprogs was recently dropped from the repositories because the upstream kernel developers themselves have chosen to no longer support reiserfs, which in and of itself was because it’s no longer being worked upon by its developers.

reiserfs version 3.x had stagnated, and its successor, reiser4, was never adopted into the upstream kernel, plus that its main architect, Hans Reiser, was convicted in the US for having murdered his estranged wife, and is currently still serving a prison sentence.

Yes, I read all of that, I have removed , error is still there, I have reinstalled it, error is still there.

Running: sudo pacman -Qi reiserfsprogs | grep 'depends on' gives me nada.

I don’t have anything reiserfs installed or in my iso-profiles.

I also cleared all caches to no avail.

When will I learn! fresh iso-profiles download, then building ISO gives no error.
So there was something in my iso-profile calling for it, now I have to find it!

Check you Packages-Root - usually symlinked to shared/Packages-Root but you may have chosen to have a non-linked file in one or more profles.
