Re: libpqxx outdated and flagged for years

See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=130138 - #6
It's exclusively a build dependecy for "medusa" which might or not restrict the update - are you asking out of curiosity or because the lagging update poses an actual problem?

That dependency is a mistake [1].  Nothing in the repos currently uses medusa for anything.
Edit:
diff updating the PKGBUILD to 7.8.1 also addresses [2]
