libvirt-xen failing to update/install without libnbd (Manjaro with pamac)

[peter-kehl]

Hi Ahmad Hasan,

Thank you for maintaining so many PKG builds.

Summary:

1. 5 years old Manjaro, kept very up to date (almost exclusively with GNOME "Add/Remove Software", not with pacman).
2. I did have libvirt-xen successfully installed already (with "Add/Remove Software"). But the most recent update failed, saying that it needed libnbd.
3. Side note: Before the most recent libvirt-xen update, I've uninstalled all Haskell libraries and Haskell itself (using "Add/Remove Software"). Now I am surprised that I didn't get any error (when removing Haskell), because re-installing libvirt-xen put Haskell back.

I do know that AUR and archlinux.org is primarily for Arch, and that Manjaro is somewhat non-standard, and that the main supported method of installing/updating packages is with pacman.

However, I don't know how to easily reproduce with pacman (I don't know how to enable/add AUR to pacman's config - but I do have it enabled for "Add/Remove Software"). If you'd like me to troubleshoot, send steps/commands to run, please.

Advance apologies if any of the below logs are irrelevant, or too short (because GitHub was giving me "body is too long (maximum is 65536 characters)"). Again, I'm open to investigating, feel free to send me steps/commands.

sudo pacman -S libvirt-xen
error: target not found: libvirt-xen

sudo pamac install libvirt-xen

However, I get same error (from pamac even after I installed nbdkit explicitly.

Only after I've manually installed libnbd, "Add/Remove" software succeeded for libvirt-xen.

First of all, sorry for the awfully late response. I was busy with my semester finals.

I'm building the package right now (the CI needs a good rewrite). and the problem with nbd should be solved in v9.10.0

edit: here's the built package
libvirt-xen-9.10.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz

Thank you.
Confirming that the newer (current) version builds fine.
