I am new to Linux, and am loving Garuda so far. I am using it on a surfacebook gen1, and have all things working now except the touchscreen.
When I installed the surface-linux kernel additions, the process did not install a piece called “iptsd” due to conflict with libspdlog. I found a solution in these forums, and am trying to follow it. But first my system info:

In searching these forums for iptsd, I came across a solution:
Continuing the discussion from Getting Garuda Dr460nized KDE to run on Surface Pro 5:
I was able to install libwacom using Octopi. I did not reboot after this.
I then found libwacom-surfaceAUR using the browser and downloaded it from here:
AUR (en) - libwacom-surface
The makepkg was not successful due to inability to download some other dependencies:

I then tried retrieving the dependencies with Octopi, and although they were found they also experienced to 404 missing error and Octopi also failed to retrieve and install them.
My pacmanconf.d includes the chaoticAUR mirror entry:
**[chaotic-aur]**
**Include = /etc/pacman.d/chaotic-mirrorlist**
What should be my next step to getting the libwacom-surfaceAUR installed? Am I missing some mirror entries?
