I've got some trouble upgrading this package. It only required by gksudo on my system. Here's the errors (during building):
xsltproc -nonet http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl gsettings-schema-convert.xml I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl warning: failed to load external entity "http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl" cannot parse http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl make[2]: [Makefile:998: gsettings-schema-convert.1] Error 4 make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/nando/.cache/yay/gconf/src/gconf/gsettings' make[1]: [Makefile:584: all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/nando/.cache/yay/gconf/src/gconf' make: *** [Makefile:468: all] Error 2 ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

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.
