Hi, I'm not against an AUR helper in extra, however, it’s really an exaggeration to call it a chicken-and-egg problem when users can’t install an AUR helper from the official repositories, since you don’t actually need a helper to build and install from the AUR. In fact, a helper can actually be a source of errors. Regards, Ralf
