This package requires "lynx/w3m/links", please add one to the dependencies or all three as "or" dependencies.

I managed to repair this, but it took an unreasonable amount of time to do something as trivial as repair the header of an xml file. Here's the make error:

/usr/bin/xmlto txt desc/xdg-su.xml
No way to convert HTML to text found.
Try either installing text web browser(lynx/w3m/links) or use option --with-fop

After abort, edit <your build dir>/aur-xdg-su/src/xdg-su-xdg-su-1.2.3/scripts/desc/xdg-su.xml

The top section is broken. I have never used XML in my life, but after some Google and tweaking, I decided the top needs to look like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl"
href="http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/docbook.xsl"?>
<!DOCTYPE refentry PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN"
"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd" [
]>
...

From same desc/ directory run: xmlto txt desc/xdg-su.xml --skip-validation

If it still doesn't work, you may also need the --with-fop flag to invoke the Java beast, which I had to do. It should convert it fine now, doing the PKGBUILD's job for it. cd back into the base <tmp dir>/aur-xdg-su/ directory and run: makepkg -si

You should now have it packaged and installed by pacman. This is the first time I have ever attempted to use XML or xmlto or fop, nor have I ever fixed a PKGBUILD before, so if this disgusting hack repair is a bad idea, don't use it and let me know. Sorry for the long comment, didn't think a GitHub comment would be seen by anyone from the AUR.

Following is a PKGBUILD that works for the 1.2.3 release:

bidulock, fixed in latest PKGBUILD

bidulock commented on 2013-03-27 05:19

1.2.1-2 is placing its manual pages in /usr/man instead of /usr/share/man.

bidulock commented on 2013-03-24 17:29

please change arch=('any') to arch=('i686' 'x86_64') in PKGBUILD

tarakbumba commented on 2012-04-04 11:46

Uh!Oh! I shouldn't work with sleepy eyes. Sorry for that. I' ll update PKGBUILD tonight. Also, i will do a version bump to xdg-su; should remove scripts/xdg-su as sebcactus mentioned but have forgotten. Please, be patient
