Is it a problem at all to remove it then? Obviously I don't know this "particularity" as you said.

micwoj92: done (partially), thanks! I keep python-scipy (for now) in depends for a particularity of my test pipeline. I think it is not a big deal since python-scipy is required by python-qiskit anyways.

Dependency muparserx is not needed, also python-scipy likely needs to be dropped to checkdeps. It's listed in requirements for some reason, but only imported in tests.

TLDR; Please change depends openblas-lapack to blas-openblas.

Arch announced on June 14 a new blas-openblas repo package.

That is the same as the earlier AUR package openblas-lapack, providing the OpenBLAS implementation of blas, cblas, lapack, lapacke.

This means the openblas-lapack AUR package should be deleted, and replaced with the blas-openblas repo package.

Managed to install the package, but when importing qiskit in python and trying to print the version says 'qiskit-aer': None.

EDIT: managed to fix this by installing 'openblas-lapack' and removing (conflicting) 'openblas', 'lapack' and 'cblas'. Should 'openblas-lapack' be listed as a dependency?

carlosal1015: feel free to send any patches to make check() work. I have tried a few things locally and cannot make it work.

I guess that this example can help when you want use check() function.

@coxackie I did some benchmarks for matrix-matrix multiplication (that's the only thing I really care about) and remember that in some older benchmark openblas-lapack was slightly slower. Now I repeated the benchmark and openblas-lapack was slightly (ca. 1%) faster.

I don't think there is a significant difference in performance, but with openblas-lapack it is easier to directly use LAPACK from C code.

@stiglers-eponym Thanks for answering @coxackie so quick. I had this issue some time ago but I forgot to mention it here. As you suggest, one of the developers recommended me [1] installing openblas-lapack. Also, temember that Arch tends to update its packages faster than qiskit updates its support. Meaning that, for example, we had a few months of python 3.9 without official support from qiskit part.

Unfortunately, I don't have all the time I would like to test this intensively. If you really need stability and use this without issues, I would suggest installing qiskit in Docker following their installation guide [2] and using the image continuumio/miniconda3:latest, for example.
