Details

The extra/retroarch 1.15.0-3 -package lists libxinerama and libxrandr in the 'Optional Deps' section. However, retroarch will not run at all with out them, since it requires them to be linked. Either a) they should be listed in the dependencies or b) retroarch should be able to run without them (it doesn't use them anyway in tty mode).

Steps to reproduce:
pacman -S retroarch
retroarch
# retroarch: error when loading shared libraries: libXinerama.so.1: cannot open shared object: No such file or directory
This task depends upon
