It seems that pretty much all proto packages (renderproto, kbproto, xproto, xcb-proto etc.) are missing. In fact, I get the impression that the problem is with packages in the 'any' architecture.
As a result, it is currently impossible to get a working desktop up and running.
I know that Arch PPC is being worked on, but can we expect the missing packages to appear anytime soon or is it best to give up on Arch PPC for the time being and use a different PPC distro?
