Context: A few days ago Arch pushed out a legitimately broken update. This was because they shipped out a testing version of util-linux. They very quickly fixed this… except I use SE Linux (say what you will I wanted to dive into it) and now I’m stuck waiting for the maintainer to update the AUR package so I can fix my system. This is not a general arch problem but a me problem because of my less standard, more niche build. Although the wait is genuinely making me reconsider using SE Linux as it’s been a hassle to maintain (just to keep things up to date, I gave up on keeping it in enforcing mode).

    You can try rolling back to a previous version though.

    By checking the log section in the AUR,
    you can see all the commits (changes) done to the build files.
    https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/log/?h=util-linux-selinux

    Clicking on a commit message shows you the diff.

    Start by the last commit,
    undo the changes (green lines),
    re-apply the removals (red lines),
    then attempt to re-build.

    If that did not work out,
    do the same for the commit before that until you rolled back up to the latest working version.
