Unable to update bluez-utils-compat

checking for dbus-1 >= 1.6... no
configure: error: D-Bus >= 1.6 is required
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...
checking dependencies...

AUR package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/bluez-utils-compat

I checked my dbus version and it's the latest version, 1.12.20-1.

An ubuntu thread states that libdbus-1-dev libudev-dev libical-dev libreadline-dev need to be installed, but I don't see an equivalent in the Arch repo or the AUR. I double checked the dependencies listed on the AUR page and I don't see anything missing. Arch wiki dbus article doesn't have troubleshooting steps.

Found this article that mentions the same error and says libdbus-1-dev needs to be installed. Additional article here resolved by installing pkg-conf, which I already have installed. Also mentions libdbus-1-dev again for ubuntu.

Finally, ROS index lists dbus-core as the package dependency for libdbus-1-dev on Arch, but I do not see it in the repositories. From my understanding, dbus-core has been merged into dbus.

So I guess my question is, how do I install this dependency package to resolve the error?

Re: Unable to update bluez-utils-compat

Can’t reproduce. The package builds successfully in both clean chroot and the live system.

What is the exact invocation of makepkg you use?

Re: Unable to update bluez-utils-compat

The configure script uses pkgconfig to detect dbus version which finds the info in  /usr/lib/pkgconfig/dbus-1.pc .

Output of

pacman -Qo /usr/lib/pkgconfig/dbus-1.pc

on your system ?

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

Moving to AUR issues.
