Then mentioned package has latest version 1.11.0-1 , the mirror you are using might be outdated, you should update /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Mirrorlist
then update system

my mirrorlist is up to date. I suspect error in firedragon

$ pacman -Qi libvpx | grep -i ver
Versiune                   : 1.11.0-1

$ su -c 'rankmirrors -n 6 /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew > /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist'

$ cat /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Build of firedragon 93.0-3 - new version - is running; this takes several hours.

The latest version is not building.
Until there is a fix, as a workaround create this symlink:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libvpx.so.7.0.0 /usr/lib/libvpx.so.6

weird, I have no issue building with libvpx (1.11.0-1) but I cant build with rust (1:1.56.0-1).  firedragon builds fine with rust 1.1.55.0-1.

Re: firedragon error

Reply #7 – 23 October 2021, 17:32:45

Indeed rust 1:1.56.0 contains altered features that break compiling thunderbird and firefox, and of course derived packages like firedragon. This has occurred before, and will be fixed later.

firedragon-93.0-3 is now in universe, which should work on any updated system, without sym link.
