[RESOLVED] qemu edk2 optdepends disagreement on archlinux.org

I noticed this a few hours ago:

extra/edk2-ovmf says that it is optdepended on by extra/qemu, but extra/qemu disagrees:

https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/edk2-ovmf/

https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/qemu/

I guess this could have something to do with the upcoming qemu transition from v6 to v7, but not sure how exactly...

Those packages were updated at different times and thus the website metadata was also regenerated at diffefent times.  When edk2-ovmf was last updated qemu did list it as an optdepends:
https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-p … 4/PKGBUILD

Thank you, didn't know the package page dep listings on archlinux.org worked that way.
