Pip does not allow installation of plugins; this is a known bug and is being worked on.

Linking here: https://github.com/opensteno/plover/issues/1840

This package currently doesn't allow installation of plugins due to pip conflicts with the system's externally managed environment.

python-pytest-xvfb (check) is no longer available, and the package is no longer installable.

python-pytest-xvfb is missing. Is python2-pytest-xvfb the correct replacement? This affects the git version of this package as well.

updated to plover 4; ensure to back up your plover 3 config before updating.

Package broken. Suggest update to 4.0.0.dev11 (or whatever is the latest versioned tag) from here, or delete package and use plover-git.

It seems this is broken due to missing python2-pyserial

And python2-xlib... I've updated the PKGBUILD to use python2-cython-hidapi. AUR has python2-xlib (but the PKGBUILD is broken). At this point, it's better to use plover-git anyway.

Looks like the dependency python2-hidapi has been removed.
