resolve impossible build scenario

[cobalt2727]

currently, attempting to follow the official documentation here results in the following:

cobalt@ideapad-flex-5:~$ git clone 'https://mpr.makedeb.org/mist'
cd mist/
makedeb -si -H 'MPR-Package: yes'

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 satisfy:command-line : Depends: rustup but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[!] Failed to install missing dependencies.

I've installed rustup following the script on their official site, but makedeb can't see this because it's not installed as an apt package.

rustup can be installed from the MPR, having it marked as a dependency ensures Mist can still be built in places like the PBMPR.

Does installing rustup from the MPR work for you?

[cobalt2727]

I can try that when I get some spare time. Needing to install something from the MPR before being able to install the MPR manager just seems kind of backwards to me...

[cobalt2727]

does the PKGBUILD spec have options for anything like a recommended package? being able to use official rustup without breaking stuff would be ideal
