Shouldnt this PKGBUILD also have a

Conflicts:  

with the PKGBUILD "zotero-bin", https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zotero-bin ?

What is the difference with zotero-beta-bin ?

reuploaded as zotero-beta-bin. merge request pending

@qubidt As already noted by other people, this package declares a lot of completely unnecessary dependencies. aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc is especially bad, because the package neither does any building nor support aarch64. Can you please align the dependencies of this package with those provided by sukanka?

I also wonder why aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc is needed. this package doesn't support aarch64 at all.

I used namcap to check the dependencies. I suggest the dependencies should be the following

depends=(
    'nss'
    'gtk2'
    'gtk3'
    'libxt'
    'dbus-glib'
)
optdepends=('java-runtime')

The desktop MIME type patch now fails to apply (as of Zotero-5.0.97-beta.63+035aac30f).
