Some dependencies in Arch are skipped over

I noticed install_prereq has ‘xmlstarlet’ in the list but it is skipped by either Asterisk or pacman. I didn’t check if any others were skipped.

It installs manually just fine.

An issue should be reported[1]. The install_prereq script is community supported though, so no guarantee if/when it will get looked at.

After some testing:

Removing ‘zlib’, ‘gmime’, ‘c-client’ from the list fixed everything. ‘zlib’ had a conflict with ‘zlib-ng-compat’ already on system which crashed pacman. ‘gmime’ and ‘c-client’ could not be found which also crashed pacman.

With Arch it’s probably better to install one at a time so a pacman crash doesn’t prevent the others from loading. Just my $.02
