It is in [community] as a dependency of clonezilla and I'm unaware of issues with that. Instead of asking for removal why not look to add support?

Hi,
if it's a dependency of clonezilla, fair enough. I'd have reported for community but there is no cathegory for this repository when creating a bug report so..
My guess is clonezilla doesn't use the drbl server, it appeares to be only an issue with the server part of drbl. Just really confusing considering it was made with a debian system in mind...

I doubt it would be difficult to add Arch support for that functionality, but that work should be done upstream. Happy to get involved if there are Arch-specific issues.
