yay -Yc shows a lot of stuff, and I wonder if it's really sure to just remove everything. Are they kind of neutralized ?
For exemple, is it possible that something like a wine app use one of these dependencies without me knowing ?
Or maybe something I have installed. Or is it 100% sure that absolutely nothing is using something in that list ?
The size is massive now and the idea of spending weeks to repair makes me sweat a little.
Cause I don't always find how to fix stuff...

If any new Archers have trouble with 'makepkg -si' errors, try this:
$pacman -Ss base-devel
just install everything that comes up. -base-devel- is a meta tag. Just use -S to install it. These packages were stripped out of the Arch 'base' installation package recently. Someone apparently thought having a complete working setup was a bad idea. It's a great way to add more convoluted hyperlinks within the Arch Wiki.

When I tried to run makepkg -si I got this error -==> ERROR: Cannot find the fakeroot binary. ==> ERROR: Cannot find the strip binary required for object file stripping.- I googled it and you just have to install the base-devel package by doing -sudo pacman -S base-devel-. That fixed it for me, I thought I'd comment this in case it helps anyone else. Thanks for the vid distrotube

Derek, brother. How are you? Love your videos, firstly. I've learned a lot. I'm using OpenBox manjaro. I am completely unable to use makepkg -si in the user name sudo or root. It says it's dangerous and just aborts. I'm about to hit up the manjaro doc, but would you have any thoughts off the top of your head?

For anyone that gets errors like -cannot find fakeroot binary- and -Cannot find the strip binary required for object file stripping- you should install the base-devel package (pacman -S base-devel). The wiki says this in the video but he doesn't explicitly install the package.

is there any way to change PKGBUILD (especcially dependency section) BEFORE yay checks dependencies (and says that dependency not found; error; exit..)? on github someone's already have issue about it, -closed-, but maybe some workaround?

I prefer Trizen to Yay because by default Trizen prints the pkgbuild and any other scripts it will run to build the package, it also gives you the option to edit them if you so choose. It works like Yay other then that.

When you executed -> yay -Yc, it showed all of your packages in a nice list (10:20). How did you make that happen? When I use it I just get a space separated list identical to a list you get using pacman.
