@Thiger: gpg --recv-keys <missing key> where <missing key> is one of those inside the PKGBUILD.

Building fails:

Sorry that output is in german, it says: ERROR: cannot check one or more PGP sinatures.

@IooNag: I will contact python-selinux maintainers on this issue as soon as I can.

@tallero: It seems that python-selinux, Python package was created to work in Python virtualenv, in order to provide Python bindings to libselinux.so (according to "Pure-python selinux shim module for use in virtualenvs in order to avoid failure to load selinux in Ansible modules." in https://github.com/pycontribs/selinux/blob/321d66619ed59bec00a9dc6216ce417d7befec41/README.rst ). These bindings are provided system-wide by the AUR package selinux-python in the AUR, and I understand for a need of a shim module in virtualenvs. This is why python-selinux includes a "selinux" Python module. However the fact that this module is installed system-wide is strange.

Moreover I do not understand how Arch Linux's python-selinux is supposed to work system-wide: it is supposed to provides transparent Python bindings to libselinux... but require libselinux to be installed too (with its Python bindings). Therefore, in my humble opinion, instead of packaging python-selinux in community, the AUR packages libselinux and selinux-python should be migrated to community if some official packages start to depend on them.

Could you please contact python-selinux's package maintainers in order to understand how this package is supposed to be used on systems with SELinux?

libselinux: /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/selinux/__init__.py exists in filesystem (owned by python-selinux)
libselinux: /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/selinux/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-310.pyc exists in filesystem (owned by python-selinux)

@IooNag Ok, thanks

But considering that pkgconf is not so frequently used, maybe is better if you add it in the makedepends.

@bred Yes, pkgconf needs to be installed before building this package, as well as make, gcc (for a C compiler)... All these packages are in group base-devel, which is always required for AUR packages.

@IooNag

It seems that the package "pkgconf" is a mandatory dependency for building "libselinux".

After the installation of "pkgconf" it has compiled correctly.

@bred : What version of package pcre have you installed? What is the output of "pkg-config --libs libpcre" (this is the command which is used to normally insert "-lpcre" in the command line that failed)?

I've this error during the linking: (pcre is installed!)
