Acutally, just a simple Python3/Python2 issue. Use python2 from the AUR to build obexftp afterwards. This is assuming that everything depending on obexftp is actually also just using Python2 bindings..

Some SWIG/Python interface breakage:

This should probably depend on https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/bluez-obex/

No, that's part of base-devel and thus assumed to be installed in the build environment.

Could you add 'patch' to PKGBUILD's makedepends, please ?

@LA-MJ: what do you mean? I just built it in a fresh, clean chroot and the perl module is placed under /usr/lib/perl5/5.30/vendor_perl/auto/OBEXFTP/OBEXFTP.so.

Sorry for ignorance but how come this still builds with perl 5.28?

Since it provides obexfs, can you add provides=("obexfs=${pkgver}"), please?

@damir: obexfs already has an open request to be merged into obexftp, since the obexfs binary is now provided by this package.
