[manjaro-dev] important brltty update needed, I've already got the pkgbuild and such ready

[Bernhard Landauer]

Yes, it looks like at the moment chroot building of the different arch 
in linux47 is broken.
https://bugs.manjaro.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=12

I'll try opening a bug at sudo for this.
Meanwhile just use a lower kernel version for these tasks. I think it 
should work.

regards
Bernhard
