@fungible Thanks for the quick response and explanation. The problem is solved!

@SDSK The package had lsb-release as a dependency and I had that installed already. I've edited the PKGBUILD so it doesn't need lsb-release. Go ahead and re-download the PKGBUILD and try building again.

properties-cpp is a runtime dependency of dbus-cpp, see this patch: https://pastebin.com/raw/6yPyrjZK

rebuild process-cpp against newer boost headers
