Gnome-Boxes package has been broken for like 3 years
Status:
confirmed
Priority:
bug

Description
- steps to reproduce:
1) # pacman -S gnome-boxes
2) # select qemu-base, qemu-desktop or qemu-full
- expected result:
Install boxes normally
- actual result:
can't satisfy the dependency «tracker», needed for gnome-boxes
The last time gnome-boxes was updated was in 2020 so it has been broken since that also is hyper outdated

thanks for noticing - i think what happened is that the 'tracker' package was never replaced; so anyone who was using gnome-boxes at the time never saw a problem (including the maintainer, apparently) - only those trying to install it on a system which was installed after 2020 would have noticed; and apparently not enough people want to use it that someone would have reported the bug already

this will need some significant work - i noticed at least these two problems:
- hide_download_button.patch does not apply
- its dep 'libosinfo' needs upgrade; and its mksource() also needs significant re-working
