DetailsThe script `/usr/bin/glilypond` which comes with `groff` requires the AUR package `perl-file-homedir` to be installed in order to run properly. In addition I'm pretty sure the package `lilypond` it self which is needed as well for it to be useful.
I think some packages files order and optional dependencies is needed for these packages. |

Maybe someone cares to add this AUR package, we could optdepend on a community package. We definitely cannot depend on an AUR package, and it makes no sense to optdepend on lilypond alone if the script aborts anyway over perl-file-homedir.

Fedora seems to make perl depend on the homedir module. Technically it's not an essential dependency to core groff pkg.

@Florian - any comment on adding perl-file-homedir?

I don't see why the perl package should depend on perl-file-homedir. Since the creation of this bug, Felix has moved perl-file-homedir into the repos so I'd suggest adding an optdep to groff since that reflects the reality most closely.
