Lzma-utils

On trying to build April isos this morning build stopped due to lzma-utils package not being found. Checked aur and repos can cannot find anything. Have added xz in the hope it will do the same job. Cannot seem to find out any information regarding it or new package name.

Anyone know about the package or what it is called now?

Re: Lzma-utils

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LZMA
According to this article it is used by 7z and to extract .xz.
It seems to be used by xz: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/i686/xz/
as an alternative compression method.

See package list of xz:

usr/include/lzma/
usr/include/lzma.h
usr/include/lzma/hardware.h
usr/include/lzma/index.h
usr/include/lzma/vli.h
usr/include/lzma/filter.h
usr/include/lzma/bcj.h
usr/include/lzma/stream_flags.h
usr/include/lzma/index_hash.h
usr/include/lzma/container.h
usr/include/lzma/version.h
usr/include/lzma/lzma.h
usr/include/lzma/base.h
usr/include/lzma/check.h
usr/include/lzma/delta.h
usr/include/lzma/block.h[

It seems to me you have followed the right trail.
What we need to check of downloaded packages can be uncompressed  by pacman.
If there are no errors on installing packages everything seems alright.
If that is OK I see no problems.
