Dependency cycle in plasma-workspace-git

Hello,

I am trying to compile plasma-workspace-git from source, but when I do, I get the error:

==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Missing dependencies:
  -> kde-cli-tools-git
==> Checking buildtime dependencies...
==> ERROR: Could not resolve all dependencies.

However, when installing "kde-cli-tools-git":

==> Checking buildtime dependencies...
==> Missing dependencies:
  -> plasma-workspace-git
==> ERROR: Could not resolve all dependencies.

Is this a problem in the repos or am I doing something wrong?

Thank you.

Re: Dependency cycle in plasma-workspace-git

plasma-workspace-git can be built without kde-cli-tools-git,  you will need to add kdesu-git in its place.

Re: Dependency cycle in plasma-workspace-git

kdesu-git is already installed, so nothing has changed. Do I have to tell plasma-workspace-git to use kdesu instead?

Yes change the dependency from plasma-workspace-git to kdesu-git .

Re: Dependency cycle in plasma-workspace-git

Can you please describe how I would do that? I'm just new to the Arch build process.

Re: Dependency cycle in plasma-workspace-git

Edit the PKGBUILD for plasma-workspace-git and change the dependency

git diff
diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD

I would not advise replacing tens of packages with their git counterparts if you are not familiar with the Arch build process.
