This commit removed fakeroot from the optdepends array, but did not add it to the depends array. Shouldn't it be in one or the other? |

# makepkg uses quite a few external programs during its execution. You
# need to have at least the following installed for makepkg to function:
# awk, bsdtar (libarchive), bzip2, coreutils, fakeroot, file, find (findutils),
# gettext, gpg, grep, gzip, openssl, sed, tput (ncurses), xz
makepkg warns you if there are uninstalled, so there is little need to use optdepends.
Many programs will throw an error when they don't find the external programs they need. That doesn't mean we should just ignore pacman's dependency resolution and count on the error telling people what to install.
I'll leave it to the other assignees to decide what they want to do.
