I can't believe this. You are an Arch user and it never occurred to you that you should go check with a pacman -Ss gimp-light, and then when there is no result, check the AUR? How about a pacman -Si scribus?
Believe it. Here, the issue isn't "can't you check", the issue is "why did scribus attempt to satisfy a dependency with gimp-light?" That is why I posted the question. I had never seen pacman attempt to satisfy and dependency with a non-existent or aur package before. But it did. The lack of a gimp-light caused pacman to fail to upgrade anything. Thus, the post. The questions wasn't "why isn't gimp-light in the repos?" or "Is AUR the only place for gimp-light?", the question was "why/how is scribus looking for it in the first place?" -- David C.
