libguestfs - cannot resolve dependencies

Hi,

Referring to this post, it says that there should be a libguestfs in galaxy now? I can only see it in community still and getting the following when trying to install it:

Code: [Select]
resolving dependencies...
warning: cannot resolve "systemd-sysvcompat", a dependency of "libguestfs"
:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
      libguestfs

What should I do?

It is not in galaxy. I don't remember if it ever was (guess maybe a long time ago). I will try to give importing it a shot since someone else also requested it, but this has a mess of dependencies and such so not sure if it will work.

I see. Well I don't know what the demand is, I only need a way to mount a VHD on this machine. Is there another way perhaps?

Yeah I can't get ghc to build. This quite unfortunately requires haskell which is a giant mess.

Can be built with --disable-haskell

You can build with --disable-haskell. See ./configure --help.

Actually, made aur/libguestfs-git building again. A PKGBUILD that works for me on Artix is here.

Thanks! The Arch PKGBUILD actually lists ghc as a make dependency so I assumed haskell was needed. However their PKGBUILD actually also uses --disable-haskell so in fact it doesn't need that as a make dependency at all. With that out of the way, I just added it to our repos.
