archboot and gnu-netcat

I'm trying to install archboot to use on an install on a new laptop, and I've run into an issue.  When I try to install it on my desktop to build the imagine, I get an error from pacman about a dependency conflict (snu-netcat vs. openbsd-netcat).   I can't let it swap the two, because virt-manager depends on openbad-netcat.  I was able to find a Todo about changing that dependency, and it's marked as complete, so I'm not sure what is going on.
