Thanks @mathieu.clabaut, your diff worked for me!

Build of last version fails with 

==> Starting build()...
sed: can't read setup.py: No such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...
 -> error making: alot-git-exit status 4
 -> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required:
alot-git - exit status 4

The following patch may help.

python-service-identity should be an optional dep.

hcar commented on 2016-12-16 20:00 (UTC)

Please add python2-requests as a dependency.

It seems the python2-magic package has changed name from Magic-file-extensions to file-magic, which breaks this package. This change resolves the issue for me: --- a/PKGBUILD +++ b/PKGBUILD @@ -33,7 +33,7 @@ build() { # "Magic-file-extensions", as opposed to the python-magic on pypi.

This also depends on python2-setuptools, otherwise running `alot` from a shell results in: $ alot Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/alot", line 6, in <module> from pkg_resources import load_entry_point ImportError: No module named pkg_resources Thanks for packaging alot BTW!
