Howdy: error installing howdy on arch (using the yay helper)

[ANDROID2468]

_Please describe the issue in as much detail as possible, including any errors and traces_
This is the output from the terminal:

Successfully installed face-recognition-1.2.3
The --yes options to dlib's setup.py don't do anything since all these options
are on by default. So --yes has been removed. Do not give it to setup.py.
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().
Aborting...
Error making: howdy

---

I've searched for similar issues already, and my issue has not been reported yet.

Linux distribution (if applicable):arch

Howdy version:

[boltgolt]

The only error line

 ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().

Doesn't say a lot, are there no other obvious problems or errors?

[ANDROID2468]

@boltgolt
nope, but here is my terminal output when running the command
(the command I used: yay -S howdy 2>&1 | tee log.txt)
log.txt

Can confirm, even building the package from the AUR the old fashioned way (without yay) it gives the same error, see screenshot. When googling I found this, but I'm not sure if it has anything to do with this issue.

Looks like the --yes output above is in dlib's setup.py script, see screenshot, I'm not sure what is passing it the --yes option, but I think that is the problem here

Figured it out, the PKGBUILD file calls the setup.py for that, and passes it the --yes arugmet. run yay -S howdy --editmenu and whe it asks you to edit PKGBUILD files select 1, type the name of the editor you want to use (for me nanao) then search for the --yes option and delete it. however now it complains about USE_AVX_INSTRUCTIONS being an invalid command, which is an argument for --yes I guess, so I'm going to try deleting those as well.

can confirm, steps to install:

1. run yay -S howdy --editmenu.
2. when it asks you to edit pkgbuild select 1 howdy
3. use what ever editor you want
4. find --yes and delete it and the USE_AVX_INSTRUCTIONS
5. continue as normal

Maintainer - update your pkgbuild to reflect these changes thank you.
