[SOLVED] EROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies

I am trying to install Odoo on my fresh installed Arch Linux, but when I run

$makepkg -s

it says

 ==> Making package: odoo 12.0-2 (Sun 28 Jul 2019 03:56:37 PM PKT)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Installing missing dependencies...
error: target not found: wkhtmltopdf-static
error: target not found: python-ebaysdk
error: target not found: python-num2words
error: target not found: python-ofxparse
error: target not found: python-vatnumber
==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies.

.
I then installed all the dependencies one by one using `pip` and it says all the dependencies are satisfied, but when I run

$makepkg -s

again. I get the same error.

Don't do that!

Of course pacman doesn't know about these then (that's the least of the problems with using pip system-wide, though).  Remove them all, and install them properly with makepkg/pacman.

Re: [SOLVED] EROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies

Those are AUR packages and pacman/makepkg will only care about those. Purge the stuff you installed through pip and install those packages from the AUR.

Those dependencies are not available in aur repositories.

sudo pacman -S python-num2words

returns

 error: Target not found 

. Is there any other way around it?

"pacman -S" won't to anything wrt to the AUR, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR

Yes, they are, e.g., https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wkhtmltopdf-static/

And right from the wiki page you linked to in your first post:

Installing Odoo

Install the odooAUR package. Please note that the Odoo package comes with a bunch of Python packages available in the AUR.

Thank You so much, I had mixed `pacman` and `AUR` from the start. Now I understand it.
