The package brltty 4.4-3 present in the extra repository starts generating the following error:

Can not get dbus session bus: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed / usr / bin / dbus-launch terminated abnormally with the following error: No protocol specified

After that connect the Braille display (Alva BC640) without being recognized and managed.

Instead of installing the same package generated using ABS PKGBUILD with the default configuration works properly.
This task depends upon

Sorry for missing this! Is this still a problem with the most recent package?

The situation has not changed, but me and my blind friend we modified the PKGBUILD package by removing or correcting a few things:

- At-SPI2-core and atk are optional dependeencies now: and actually the spi driver has some problems
- Modified the configuration option - with-screen-driver = a2 in lx because the spi driver is deprecated and a couple of relase is no longer used

Note that when you specify --with-screen-driver=<something>, you actually specify what you would like to have built within the executable. The other screen drivers are built as a module.

PS as mentioned in email with stephane should edit the file that defines the service brltty so that the parameter is WantedBy sysinit.target instead of multi-user.target
   PKGBUILD (1.3 KiB)
   brltty.service (0.2 KiB)

@Matteo: thanks for the feedback. I already changed the .service file in testing, and now uploaded a new version with your proposed changes (I also added at-spi2-core to makedepends). Please, let me know if it now works ok for you.
