I just installed xorg-xdpyinfo and it still tests fine. Might be something else preventing the test from running though.
e.g. if xdpyinfo > /dev/null && echo $?
returns a value <> 0 the systray icon is not shown (and the unit test cannot fail therefore)
... I am building on a headless system, but I'm just running makepkg, which creates both backintime and backintime-cli. I do only have backintime-cli installed on this system though. I was just building backintime here to test on a system without the icons installed.
Perhaps some icons were installed by another package so that the default theme contains the required icon file.
You can see the names of the installed icon themes with this command:
ls /usr/share/icons

Using an AUR helper such as yay to build packages including backintime is HIGHLY discouraged. The recommended build method is to use a clean chroot. See: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:Building_in_a_clean_chroot
I wrote a script that automates much of that called clean-chroot-manager offered here in the AUR.
Please stop posting build failures because you insist on building with yay or other AUR helpers.
