This was dropped from the official repos because it is dead upstream and all officially packaged software has switched to the maintained fork "python-css-parser". Please encourage remaining software that still uses python-cssutils, to make the same switch.

I've met two users link1 link2 claiming that installation of this package failed, even by using makepkg.

And they both claimed that after manually installing python-setuptools-scm and python-wheel, the problem fixed.

It's kinda weird since python-setuptools-scm and python-wheel are already listed here as make dependencies.

@eschwartz: How true is that now that the original upstream is active again?

This package requires python-setuptools-scm and python-wheel as makedepends to build and package properly.

Since cssutils is end of life, I did not make any effort to fix testsuite errors when dropping it. The one you refer to was fixed in css-parser via https://github.com/ebook-utils/css-parser/commit/1829247f4a58c60d008570b816ea83cbf0d5cbd5

P.S. The tests do not fail if you build in a clean chroot, this is because they only fail if python-chardet is installed.

P.P.S. You did not post the error message, which was

The "FAILED" and "a failure occurred in check()" part is not actually an error message, it simply states that an error previously occurred. Please post full errors in future. Fortunately I knew why this happened, because the css-parser fork needed to clean up a number of problems in the code.
