Introduction

Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, AUR maintainer refuses competition with the official package at the same major version.

. /opt/postgresql18/bin/pgenv.sh

@i4k, @a821, thanks for reporting. Dependencies added.

I get the same error of @i4k. It seems docbook-xml and docbook-xsl need to be added to makedepends.
