Most of the packages that “require” it are actually Electron apps that copy&pasted their dependency lists from elsewhere or failed to update them: Chromium (and subsequently Electron) haven’t been dependent on this for years.

If you want to help, you can ask the maintainers of all those apps if they really still need gconf.

None that I use still need it (spotify and hamsket-bin), and their maintainers removed the superfluous dependency.

If you got build issues, please make sure

  1. base-devel group is installed [1]
  2. you are not using a broken AUR helper like pacaur. See https://github.com/E5ten/pacaur/issues/14.

If the build is still not working, use clean chroots [2] to build it.

2to3 should be replaced by a plain patch

Fails to build in a clean chroot: 2to3 has been removed from python

@buttcake I ran into the same issue and solved it by exiting the conda environment.

pacman -S glib2-devel

add glib2-devel as makedependency

Muflone commented on 2024-09-01 17:01 (UTC)

@IslandC0der please add glib2-devel as makedependency

fossdd commented on 2024-08-27 07:02 (UTC)

Alternativly if you're unable to build gconf, you can download the package from the Arch Linux Archive[1]: https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/g/gconf/

Does not build unless you install glib2-devel manually before
