I think there are two distinct issues covered in this report. The lack of launchpadlib in the repositories and packages in the repositories using the bzr+lp protocol instead of bzr.

On the second issue I can see no advantage to using bzr+lp which requires registration plus authentication of the user over bzr in a PKGBUILD as it only pulls content from a repository and it is trivial to convert a PKGBUILD to use bzr instead of bzr+lp see [1] and [2].

[1] PKGBUILD.diff.libappindicator

Thank you for your patience. I will try to report it to the maintainer of libappindicator.

Registration/authentication is not required. Installing python-launchpadlib from AUR is enough to fix the broken build.

Please consider move python-launchpadlib from AUR to official repository.

Additional Information:

packages that uses 'bzr+lp':

qtqr, libappindicator, gloobus-preview, chinese-calendar and bzr-fastimport

FWIW, I won't add a package I won't be using and won't have time to care for, especially since there is a known workaround which is to use bzr instead of bzr+lp.

@Alucryd Thanks for your clarification.

I have opened two tickets to ask the package maintainer of qtqr and chinese-calendar to use bzr instead.

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/78718
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/78717

For bzr-fastimport, this package seems non-existent but it has a repo: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/bzr-fastimport/-/blob/main/PKGBUILD

Thanks! bzr-fastimport was dropped years ago, we only keep the repo history around just in case (although in this case the project is dead, and most likely not usable with breezy anyway).
