VStoiakin, cyqsimon: done, thanks for the heads up!
simona: read the post install message, and if that doesn't help provide more details.

problem to start with kde6 and wayland....

I mean, there's an argument to be made that having a dependency on libxml2-legacy is better compared to having a vendored libxml2.so, and therefore the vendored copy should be removed by the build script.
Just my two cents on this. It's up to the maintainers to decide.

libxml2.so.2 is now included in the package, so dependency on libxml2-legacy can be dropped.

When using network links that use WWW-Authenticate Basic, Google Earth prompts the user to "Remember this password in my keychain" but fails to do so. To the best of my knowledge I have duplicated my Arch install to mirror several (working) Debian based systems, but the password is never saved to the keychain. I have looked around to solve this issue for nearly a year and have never seen anyone talk about this, as I assume that it's such an obscure problem. I would be eternally grateful for any assistance!
Update: I finally figured it out. Google Earth depends on libgnome-keyring for storing passwords. I installed and enabled extra/gnome-keyring and installed aur/libgnome-keyring and it now remembers passwords.

Can 3D acceleration be added?

The default script in /usr/bin/google-earth-pro is just a copy of /opt/google/earth/pro/google-earth-pro, which tries to open /usr/bin/googleearth-bin, which doesn't exist.
The best workaround is just to make /usr/bin/google-earth-pro a symbolic link to /opt/google/earth/pro/google-earth-pro in PKGBUILD
ln -sf ${pkgdir}/${_installdir}/google-earth-pro ${pkgdir}/usr/bin/google-earth-pro

If there is no fix for this, is there not a way for me to set the updater to ignore this update?
