@killajoe thank you for the alert, I took the chance to upgrade to the new alpm crate to stay compatible with the current alpm system implementation. A new release is out :-)

stops building with latest pacman update it seems still calling for alpm v4.0.3 thats unresolved upstream something was failing on apply changes as it looks like. Git version seems to build properly.

@admalledd: I released a new version, thanks for spotting that!

FYI as of right now, pacnews 2.4.0-1 doesn't run or build due to libalpm updating from v13 to v14. Automatic PR was opened https://github.com/dottorblaster/pacnews/pull/126 and just needs to be merged I think.

@plarpoon @dreieck sorry for the delay, I released a new version that compiles against the current openssl package.

Can confirm, the same exact issue as for dreieck happens to me too

If fails to build for me. openssl 3.x and openssl-1.1 are installed.

  Failed to find OpenSSL development headers.

  You can try fixing this setting the `OPENSSL_DIR` environment variable
  pointing to your OpenSSL installation or installing OpenSSL headers package
  specific to your distribution:

      # On Ubuntu
      sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
      # On Arch Linux
      sudo pacman -S openssl
      # On Fedora
      sudo dnf install openssl-devel
