@defty
Indeed you don't need most optional dependencies. Mathematica has such a broad scope that including every dependency seems like overkill (especially if one wants to install Mathematica without needing the GUI).
As the the error you're getting, I'm not really sure what might be causing it.
fcitx5 doesn't work in this Mathematica. Did anyone fix it?
2 questions:
@JP-Ellis do the 21 GB need to be free storage in the / partition or in /home?
@wjhandley Mostly likely, the directory Mathematica is being built in ran out of space during installation, resulting in Mathematica's installer just not creating certain files. Please make sure you have at least 21GB of space (I believe that is the current total).
@RunAndTumble I did that for a short while (as @kjslag mentioned) due to a font-related bug. I have contemplated of switching entirely to system dependencies, but given we don't have access to any of the source, they may require specific version of libraries which aren't the same as the system versions (in particular, I would expect quite a few outdated libraries to be included).
You are free to try and modify the PKGBUILD and remove all bundled libraries and instead use system libraries.
I currently get the error
Installation failed. See
/home/will/.cache/yay/mathematica/pkg/mathematica/opt/Mathematica/InstallErrors.
-> Errors related to 'xdg-icon-resource' and 'xdg-desktop-menu' are to be expected during Mathematica's installation.

@RunAndTumble Although bundling libraries has fixed a bug in the past, it also has the potential to create new bugs. Wolfram supposedly sometimes modifies some of the bundled libraries and they do not support linking to system libraries. If you want to use system libraries, you can remove or rename the bundled library files that you do not want to use.
@JP-Ellis
What are the chances to get rid of the bundled components by simply linking to the system ones?

The update to v14.0.0 has been uploaded. A list of new features can be found in Wolfram's blog.
If there are any issues with this PKGBUILD, please let me know in a commment below.

Wolfram offers two bundles for Mathematica: one with offline docs included, and one which relies on online docs. I have created corresponding version of the Mathematica package in the AUR:
mathematica: As this package has historically always included offline docs, it will continue to do so now. As of 13.1.0, the package takes up around 14.1GiB with all documentation.mathematica-light: For those people who want a small package and/or want to use online docs, I have created this package which uses Wolfram's online-docs bundling of Mathematica. As of 13.3, the light version takes up around 7.2GiB.
