Describe the bug.

So i tried installing tenacity from the AUR, when i tried makepkg -si, an error shows up. it says

pacman failed to install missing dependencies. (image below)

and from what i suspect, the package tries to install wxgtk3-dev-light (which is an aur package), through pacman.

a temporary solution would be installing wxgtk3-dev-light manually through the AUR.

Expected behavior

It should've installed its dependencies automatically, but it doesn't.

Please reach out to the maintainers of the AUR package, as we don't officially maintain it or have the power to change things in it (apart from one contributor).

This is a problem that also me as AUR package maintainer can't handle. wxgtk3-dev-light is only available on the AUR.

A workaround is: You could try AUR helpers, like paru. They detect them and build them too.

Pretty all AUR packages which depend on other AUR packages solve this like we do.

I hope I could help

pacman don't deal with AUR pkgbuilds and never will, this issue can closed as can't fix
