Details

Description:

archboot, which is in extra, has a dependency on bittorrent. However, none of the bittorrent clients in core, extra, or community seem to provide bittorrent. Possibly one can satisfy this dependency from AUR, but it's not obvious how to do it. At any rate, it seems strange to have a package in extra that can only be installed if you first install something from AUR.

Additional info:
* package version(s)

archboot 2012.01-1

* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

# mkarchroot -n chroot base
...
# mkarchroot -r bash chroot
[root@host /]# pacman -S archboot
resolving dependencies...
warning: cannot resolve "bittorrent>=5.2.2-4", a dependency of "archboot"
:: The following package cannot be upgraded due to unresolvable dependencies:
archboot

Do you want to skip the above package for this upgrade? [y/N]
