Missing archive.h file

[zohozer]

I do try to install the yay package in my SteamDeck Arch distro using this tutorial and I do face the following problem:

When I do run the command: $ makepkg -si, I do get the following error:

# github.com/Jguer/go-alpm/v2
In file included from ../gopath/pkg/mod/github.com/!jguer/go-alpm/v2@v2.1.2/alpm.go:10:
/usr/include/alpm.h:42:10: fatal error: archive.h: No such file or directory
   42 | #include <archive.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make: *** [Makefile:113: yay] Error 2

Looks like it is a missing archive.h file dependencies.

How I can correct this issue?

Hi @zohozer, I'm encountering the issue, me too.

My use case is to build a project which imports go-alpm, from a Debian container (actually, based on goreleaser-cross).

I have installed libalpm13 and libalpm-dev deb packages. archive.h headers file import, comes from libalpm.
