Build error. Expects aclocal 1.16 but aclocal was updated with core/automake to 1.17 recently (20th of July).

Or is it actually libConfuse that needs to be build with the newest automake version?

Downgrading to automake 1.16 with: pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/automake-1.16.5-2-any.pkg.tar.zst allows for successful build.

@voidzero: looks like an upstream issue to me, but might also be related to the limited ressources in the container. Try to build in a normal environment and see if the error persists. I will also try to reproduce when I find time for it.

This package does not build anymore for me. I'm running my mail server in an lxc container. When trying to build this, it fails with tests:

Is this something that can be fixed on the PKGBUILD or should I report it upstream? Thanks

No worries, mate. Such things slip by easily!

That is fair. Built the package in a arch container and it struggled to find make. But yes that makes sense. Apologies for the noise.

@Torxed: Nitpicking back: IIRC, both are part of base-devel, prerequisite of building from AUR at all.

Nitpicking, but I believe gcc and make are also makedepends:

Hello, I am thinking to upgrade to version 2. In the config file is unprivileged-user = "nobody". Should I left it? Is it better to run as postsrsd user? unprivileged-user = "postsrsd"

@peippo: thanks for testing and feedback, I implemented the requested changes.
