# Things to know before using the helper
Sometimes if a package prompts a user to select between alternate package
dependencies, makechrootpkg will fail to select one by default (it will
constantly output "y" to stdin when a selection requires an integer). This means
you will need to check the logs as it is building a package to make sure this
kind of soft-lock doesn't happen. Use `tail -f LOG_FILE.log` for example. If
such a soft-lock happens, Ctrl-C the helper, and explicitly set a dependency in
the TOML config file in a "other\_deps" array for the package like so:
[[entry]]
name = "sway-git"
aur_deps = [
"wlroots-git",
"swaybg-git"
]
other_deps = [
"mesa"
]
