@tobixen The workaround is to install dh-autoreconf separately. Adding it to this package now would create circular depends.

I must admit it was the AI telling me that dh-autoreconf should be added as a dependency, I didn't verify it myself, but the error message was very real.

@tobixen If aur/dh-autoreconf is added as a dep of this one, both packages will become unbuildable.

The PKGBUILD is missing dh-autoreconf from its dependencies. On Debian, debhelper (>= 12) depends on dh-autoreconf, but this AUR package doesn't include it. Running dh fails with:

dh: error: unable to load addon autoreconf: Can't locate Debian/Debhelper/Sequence/autoreconf.pm in @INC

Installing dh-autoreconf from AUR separately fixes it. Could dh-autoreconf be added to depends?

man pages are generated, but not actually installed. the following installs them. i chose to install English versions only

dh_strip_nondeterminism is currently broken in the latest release. Needs following patch to work:

Thank you @xiota as following your suggestion of clearing the cache and retrying worked.

Any ideas how to fix this?
