Arch Linux

I encountered some difficulties with the below, in relation mainly to dependent package mindi; please find details at this forum post: <https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=165252>.

An additional update is now needed per <https://www.archlinux.org/news/binaries-move-to-usrbin-requiring-update-intervention/>. As this is one of only a handful of packages on my system that are in need of patching/PKGBUILD updates, I will attempt to do so personally later in the week if there is no update by that time (I looked at doing so tonight, but it became clear identifying what needed to be changed would be complex in some cases -- or at least, complex for me -- and I lack the time for complex just this second).

F.Y.I. I patched up the afio PKGBUILD[1] as the package failed to compile.

Im the present date, Mondo rescue is working perfectly in ArchLinux, after some patches applied in mondo and mindi packages.

Thank's for your comment freedumb2000.
I tested mondo without cpio and there is a fatal error as you noticed.
But if you check /var/log/mondoarchive.log you can see that cpio is needed by mindi process (not mondo).
I checked mondo and mindi source file (do a "grep -R cpio *" in the source file) and there we can find the references to cpio inside mindi source code.
So, the dependency is from mindi which is required by mondo.
I already added cpio dependency to mindi PKGBUILD and everything seems to be working now.

Just wanted to let you know that PKGBUILD is missing a dependency for cpio and running mondo fails without it.

The mondorescue ftp repository setup has changed, and MD5SUM also changed, which broken the build.
I changed the MD5SUM and the build is now working again.
