Thanks Sebastian. I will remove the empy package, yes I guess its a build
time dependency, but it seems like the older PKGBUILD by Ballo Gyorfy used
it not as build dependency, but I wait for Quozl or someone else to
confirm. I am currently adding python2 support to sugar2-toolkit-gtk3,
unreleased. Thanks for testing. Hope other activities work satisfactorily.
