OS: EndeavourOS Kernel Version: 6.17.9-arch1-1 (64-bit)

The update of this package to pacseek 1.8.5-2 fixed the libalpm dependency, so pacseek starts but then fails on (it seems) a requirement for a set of kernel security capabilities including "landlock" that my system does not have enabled by default.

Note my system is a vanilla EndeavourOS/Arch system installed about a year ago and kept up to date with the rolling release updates.

:: Synchronising package databases... error: restricting filesystem access failed because the Landlock ruleset could not... error: switching to sandbox user 'alpm' failed! error: failed to synchronize all databases (failed to retrieve some files)

From reading online it seems changes need to be made to the kernel module set and the kernel boot options to get pacseek running.

Is this something that the AUR installer package can + should deal with automatically, or at the very least could a README be provided to help non-expert users deal with the system config change required?

Updating EndeavourOS to the latest version a few days ago (roughly as of 12 Dec 2025) updated libalpm to v16, but the pacseek build (1.8.5-1) seems to be specifically looking for v15 so it fails-

pacseek: error while loading shared libraries: libalpm.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

A dependency update required, or could the dependency be made version-independent, or at least "versions >= 15"?

I'm still getting yay wanting to install 1.8.2-1. I just tried.

Yes -3 installed perfectly, thanks!

Latest update, 1.8.2-2 fails to compile on my system at least.
