I have been getting errors since the deletion of the "extended" branch; this package is no longer working for me, and I have to manually clone the repo to get WiFi. My WiFi card is RTL8723DE.
Here are some of the odd errors (clean built twice, kernel 5.7.2):
:: Running pre-transaction hooks...

@o_flipper, do you have
linux-headers
installed? You must manually install the correctlinux-headers
for all your kernels.ArchWiki states that I should not include
linux-headers
in the dependency list (because they are individual for each user). Read about build process and DKMS.
