Pamac build AUR package stuck in an infinite loop with wxcommon-light/wxbase-light

Support AUR

Hi,
My problem is very similar to this one
Pamac update with AUR stuck in an infinite loop with wxcommon-light/wxbase-light - Support / AUR - Manjaro Linux Forum
However, I tried the solution
[root tip] Mitigate and prevent GPGME error when syncing your system - Contributions / Tutorials - Manjaro Linux Forum
but still the same.
The specific package I would like to install is saga-gis. I already installed wxgtk3-dev to satisfy the dependency requirement.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Here’s my system information:

There was not really error message, it just when pamac was checking dependencies, it stuck in an infinite loop with the following two lines:

Checking wxbase-light dependencies...
Checking wxcommon-light dependencies...

Funny thing is they are not even the dependencies of saga-gis :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

What happens if you install it the regular way?

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/wxwidgets-light.git
cd wxwidgets-light
makepkg -sric

I don’t plan to install wxwidgets-light, as they are not dependencies of the package I would like to install (saga-gis). I already manually installed wxgtk3-dev to satisfy the dependency requirement of saga-gis, and pamac didn’t get stuck in that infinite loop like the issue here.
My workaround was to download the latest snapshot of saga-gis, edit the PKGBUILD and change the dependency wxgtk3>=3.1.0 to wxgtk3-dev, and then use makepkg to build the package, and finally use pacman -U to install the package.
Just don’t know why pamac keeps checking the dependencies for wxbase-light and wxcommon-light as they are not really the dependencies of the package. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Hi,
I tried it but it would like to install the whole wxgtk-dev bundle, which also include wxgtk2-dev (I don’t want redundant packages on my system). Perhaps because yay won’t check dependencies after editing the PKGBUILD of saga-gis. Nevertheless, I remembered yay didn’t have the infinite dependency check loop issue, but I remembered it failed when compiling saga-gis for some reason (which I forgot).

wxgtk3-dev is part of the splitted pkgbuild wxgtk-dev, so either you build all or edit the pkgbuild

Also the whole versioning situation with wxgtk is complicated in general

By the way, if you install wxgtk-dev, all the programs build for wxgtk will stop working, instead if you install wxgtk-light it can be installed alongside wxgtk3 but you need to configure the saga-gis pkgbuild to use it

Edite: typed wxgtk-dev instead of wxgtk-light

Thanks for the information. And for those who need a python-wxpython alongside with wxgtk3-dev, here’s the PKGBUILD:

I still have no idea why the infinite loop has happened though.
