In removing HAL for a HAL-free setup and GNOME, Alacarte was removed due to dependency issues.

However, running "pacman -Sf alacarte", ignoring dependencies allowed it to install, and run. I ran it in the console and had no errors about missing dependencies at all. Upon googling, I found this: "http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/cvs/gnome/alacarte.html". Says dependencies are "gnome-menus" and "pygobject" only, both of which are installed on my system?

Could there be an error with the package?

first of all doing pacman -Sf alacarte doesn't ignore dependencies and all the dependencies have been installed on your system

i just split gnome-python and alacarte needs some love to pick the right ones from gnome-python

python2-bonobo python2-gconf python2-libgnome python2-gnomecanvas python2-gnomevfs

Sorry, that was a typo, I meant "pacman -Sd". If I just use -S, it'll try to bring in HAL, Bonobo, libgnomeui and a whole lot of other stuff because of the python bindings to Bonobo and gnomevfs.

However, I don't have gnomevfs, bonobo, libgnomeui etc installed as they require HAL. Saying that though, Alacarte doesn't require the dependencies it currently has. It seems to require "pygobject" instead of "gnome-python".

thanks for reporting. indeed it doesn't need any modules from gnome-python
