[arch-general] GNS3 0.8.3-3 from AUR fails to install.

[Shaka Nkofo]

An attempt to install GNS3 failed with the output below. Im not sure why 
or what to do next. Has anyone else faced the same issue and got past 
it? Please share your solution. If not can a more savy user take a look 
at the output and point me in the right direction?

Cheers

Shaka
