In order to update this package and avoid version pinning cycle, you need to build both packages, zfs-utils-git and zfs-dkms-git without installing them. Then install a same newer version of both of them in one transaction via pacman -U <path/to/built/zfs-utils-git> <path/to/built/zfs-dkms-git>.

That's precisely what I did, and precisely when I encountered the dependency mismatch (perhaps yay's cache is causing the breakage).

Another thing I noticed is that the hooks provided by this package substantially differ from the old zfs-dkms-head-git. This definitely broke me coming from that package, since the hooks provided in this package have no support for loading keys.

Agreed that they should be separate packages, since one is kernel and the other is userland. There may be situations where only one or the other is needed (e.g. userland in a container).

When you update one, you should probably update the other at the same time. Just makepkg both of them and then pacman -U them together. No, nothing is "broken".

I'm not sure the dependency versioning should be lifted -- both packages build from the same repo and API updates to one might break if the other doesn't get updated together.

This might be less tricky to update the packages using makepkg -i if they were one single PKGBUILD with split packages, but then that would inconvenience people using packages which build the binary modules for one kernel, and only want zfs-utils-git.

This package seems quite fragile with the version dependency on zfs-utils-git. Currently broken because of a mismatched version number != 1:0.8.0.r932.g317dbea17 when zfs-utils-git is compiled from AUR.

mindstormer, thanks for the report. I've deleted the -head package since it's a duplicate and breaks the rules of submission.

How does this compare to zfs-dkms-head-git? Which is recommended?

Hm....I got the following issue while trying to build the kernel module:

FATAL: modpost: GPL-incompatible module zfs.ko uses GPL-only symbol '__rcu_read_lock'

kernel version is 5.5.3-arch1-1 / gcc 9.2.1 20200130

Anyone mind to enlighten me on this one?

Hi, i was trying to use this package on linux53 with errors and found a discussion where the problem was identified: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/9133 I have used the suggestion and with this patch: https://pastebin.com/ZMJL3pv9 and PKGBUILD update: https://pastebin.com/ZkQCLADe it builds and works. Tested on Manjaro 5.2.8 and 5.3-rc4 kernels.
