Don't get me wrong: I'am an FOSS and contributions guy. But no, I do
not want to spent any resources on this atm. Otherwise I would have
done it from the beginning.

I truly have no idea! :) I do not know much about the components of
fenics. I just followed the steps reported on your homepage, found a
broken package in the AUR and fixed it.

The main work is done in the dolfin-git package (not maintained by
myself), which builds the current HEAD (if I am not mistaken), so no
outdated fenics version. Now that you mention it: viper is not one of
the dependencies of the dolfin-git package, so it can be completely
removed from the list (and I will remove the package from the AUR).

Best,

Felix
