remove the gconf dependency on Arch Linux

[oconnor663]

This was suggested in https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/keybase-bin/#comment-723637.
I just tested it on my machine, and the Keybase client starts successfully without gconf.

f6bd8dc updates some stale metadata in the .SRCINFO file.
In the usual Arch Linux workflow, this is a generated file. However,
generating it requires the makepkg tool, which is difficult to run on
anything other than Arch Linux. To avoid that dependency, we've checked
in this generated file as another template. However, as a predictable
consequence, it's gotten out of sync with the PKGBUILD file it's
supposedly generated from. These changes bring it back into sync.

One alternative to this whole setup, would be to just run a Docker image
for Arch Linux, and to legitimately generate this file. If that would be
convenient in the current build environment, it's worth considering.

What distros do you currently use in the release toolchain?

gconf was removed from electron here: electron/electron#19498

$ cd packaging/linux/; git grep gconf
arch/DOT_SRCINFO.bin.in:        depends = gconf
arch/PKGBUILD.bin.in:depends=(fuse gconf libxss gtk2 lsof) # don't change this without changing the SRCINFO template too
deb/package_binaries.sh:  dependencies="Depends: libappindicator1, fuse, libgconf-2-4, psmisc, lsof, procps, libasound2, libnss3, libxss1, libxtst6, libgtk-3-0"
test/keybase-arch-test/Dockerfile:RUN pacman -S --noconfirm git binutils fuse gconf libxss gtk2 fakeroot lsof
test/keybase-ubuntu-systemd-test/Dockerfile:RUN apt-get install -y libappindicator1 fuse libgconf-2-4 psmisc procps lsof
test/keybase-ubuntu-test/Dockerfile:RUN apt-get install -y libappindicator1 fuse libgconf-2-4 psmisc procps lsof

All these should be removed. It's not specific to Arch Linux.

[It's been a while since I worked at Keybase, so I'll let someone who's up to speed on the build pipeline chime in.]

@oconnor663 I think you should also edit

client/packaging/linux/test/keybase-arch-test/Dockerfile

Line 6 in 8cb97f6

RUN pacman -S --noconfirm git binutils fuse gconf libxss gtk2 fakeroot lsof

It would be great if you could make the modifications and run the tests for the ubuntu images (no ubuntu installation needed, instructions here)

Thanks!

[oconnor663]

I'll defer to folks who use the other distros to make those changes. I'm not very confident that I'd test things properly.

I've updated the keybase-git AUR package with the same change.
