yay complains about irrelevant dependencies
Affected Version
yay v12.1.3.r4gd368f99 - libalpm v13.0.2
Describe the bug
I want to install a package from AUR. Its PKGBUILD contains a dependency that is only valid for a different architecture (different from the architecture that I am running yay on - see the PKGBUILD docu). yay complains that this dependency cannot be fulfilled though it is not relevant for the current architecture.
Reproduction Steps
- On a x86_64 system, install AUR package repman with yay:
yay -S repman
. repman requires package devtools if it is installed on x86_64. On Aarch64, it requires package devtools-alarm instead - see PKGBUILD. - System complains that dependency devtools-alarm cannot be found though it is not required for x86_64:
-> No AUR package found for devtools-alarm
-> could not find all required packages: devtools-alarm
Expected behavior
yay ignores dependencies that are not relevant for the current architecture.
