Oh thanks. I missed "Make use of pyudev package as much as possible in utils module." as a new dependency in the changelog. Fixed (in rtslib, where the actual dependency is).

community/python-pyudev package required for targetcli-fb please add depend

thanks, fixed

python-dbus package required to run targetcli please add depend

I didn't see that yesterday either, but now I see it: You had python2-configshell-fb installed (Python 2) and now you installed that and python-configshell-fb (Python 3). Pacman said the Python 2 version was installed and installed the Python 3 version ;-) Many tools still need Python 2, including other LIO tools, but this one works with Python 3 so I use that ;-).

@JonnyJD: I could have sworn I had it installed last night. For whatever reason, today It's working. I decided to re-do the python-configshell-fb installation, and I got this output which I didn't get yesterday, so whatever happened it had to have been my error. $ sudo pacman -U *.xz loading packages... warning: python2-configshell-fb-1.1.fb17-1 is up to date -- reinstalling resolving dependencies... looking for conflicting packages...

This output really sends my head for a spin. Whatever, it works now.

@James_Epp: Do you have python-configshell-fb 1.1.fb17, or an earlier version, or python2-configshell? There is a minimum required version of python-configshell-fb which currently is *only* the current version of https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-configshell-fb/ Having a previous version installed will lead to that error (same as not having it installed at all, I guess).

Install dependency error, yet I definitely have the package installed. Can anyone else confirm? ==> Making package: targetcli-fb 2.1.fb39-1 (Sat Feb 21 19:50:43 CST 2015) ==> Checking runtime dependencies... ==> Missing dependencies: -> python-configshell-fb>=1.1.fb17 ==> Checking buildtime dependencies... ==> ERROR: Could not resolve all dependencies.

Well, leaving old kernel modules would leave the problem of these accumulating. And on Arch Linux kernel updates are not rare at all. Anyways, the configfs module is part of the kernel packages, not targetcli/rtslib. That is also the reason it is removed together with the old kernel. So there is nothing really I can do about that. You have to open an Arch request/ticket for a feature to keep kernel modules on install/update and removing them with a reboot. (you can link the ticket here then)
