Should autoconf be listed as a dependency? (see line 29 of PKGBUILD)

@dreieck: Thanks for the report! According to https://pygobject.readthedocs.io/en/latest/packagingguide.html it is indeed a dependency. I wonder, does any AUR helper or similar app act differently depending on whether a dependency is direct or indirect. I guess, the package needs a bump in any case to get rebuilt, though...

I got an error ImportError: could not import gobject (error was: 'libffi.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory') (libffi was updated to version 8/ /usr/lib/libffi.so.8) when running a software using python2-gobject2. It could be resolved by recompiling python2-gobject2.

So it seems that python2-gobject2 also directly depends on libffi, not only indirectly via glib2.

So I suggest to explicitly add libffi as dependency because of this direct dependency.

Thanks for having adopted this package!

Adopted, just to make sure that it won't get deleted at some point. ;)
