updated. interesting how many of us depend on this 12-years-untouched software that still works quite well.

I was having trouble with python2 dep but just modified the PKGBUILD to remove it and was able to have this work without issues. We should remove that requirement as others have said.

If the python2 dependency is not necessary for most users, maybe it should be made optional?

For me, the dependency on 'python2' brought several issues (lots of additional dependencies and build time for python2 from AUR). In my case, removing the python2 dependency solved the issues I had and made it a lot easier and quicker to install. So I'd recommend to remove the 'python2' dependency.

I can't see anything that could be causing a LICENSE validation error. Everything compiles without problems here.
