Good day everyone, as you may have noticed I am the new maintainer of this package. After careful inspection of the whole installation routine I was able to identify that the errors during installation are caused by the incompatible Python version. The upstream source is only compatible up to Python 3.11.
I will do a refactor of the PKGBUILD to make it use Python 3.11 via pyenv and to fully isolate the build dependencies under venv as oppose to the current system-wide dependency approach. This way it will make ArchiveBox's dependencies isolated from the rolling release nature of Arch Linux.
I will update this package in a matter of 2-3 days once all testing are done.
