Steps:

# Checkout source
git clone <pacman-git>
cd pacman
git checkout v5.2.1

# Build
<setup the build env>
autoreconf -vif && ./configure

--> Fail

configure fails to find the latest versoin, 3.8, of `file'. This version
3.8 of `file' is not even available in the official Arch packages. Is it
possible to build with an earlier version of `file'?


File version 3.8 was released about a month ago.

thanks,
Amar
