The conf-findutils package currently has depext declarations for Cygwin but is missing one for MSYS2:
depexts: [
["system:findutils"] {os = "win32" & os-distribution = "cygwinports"}
["findutils"] {os-distribution = "cygwin"}
# Missing: ["findutils"] {os-distribution = "msys2"}
]
On MSYS2, findutils is available as the findutils package via pacman, so the fix should be straightforward:
["findutils"] {os-distribution = "msys2"}
This was discovered whilst adding MSYS2 support to ocaml/setup-ocaml. Without this declaration, packages that depend on conf-findutils cannot have findutils automatically installed via depext when using opam with an MSYS2 environment.
