Updates are quite an issue with this package, because it has the zfs-uitls version hardcoded in its dependencies. (Not sure whether this is necessary or not.)

Well, once upon a time they both built from the same PKGBUILD, thus inconveniencing users who wanted the utils but also a built variant of the module, e.g. zfs-linux...

Given there's no real guarantee from the upstream project that you can use any module version with any utils version, I think it's reasonable to expect them to be somewhat synced... this is not a problem if your AUR helper supports building multiple packages and installing them at the end. Or if you build packages into a custom repo, like aurutils does.

@andrej, you should build both packages first & then install them in one call to pacman -U

Updates are quite an issue with this package, because it has the zfs-uitls version hardcoded in its dependencies. (Not sure whether this is necessary or not.) As a consequence, one has to remove zfs-dkms, then do a system upgrade involving zfs-utils and then reinstall zfs-dkms. If something goes wrong during the update and a reboot occurs, one may end up without ZFS support, which may be a slight inconvenience or an unbootable system, depending on your ZFS setup.

Now that autoconf 2.71 and glibc 2.33 are out of testing this should install normally.

greencopper, see the comments below. I don't think you're on [testing] as you may need to be.

Manually updating the package to version 2.0.2 works if this patch is added. It is a workaround for an autoconf issue that will be fixed in a new version, which is not available yet.

After installation, I had to manually copy config/compile from the sources to /usr/src/zfs-2.0.2/config/. A one-time manual recompilation of the DKMS module allowed me to build the module for my new kernel. I used:

dkms install -m zfs -v 2.0.2 -k 5.4.94-1-lts

Probably these steps can be integrated in PKGBUILD.

autoconf 2.71 packaged in testing.

Tried building 2.0.2 and made the package but couldn't get DKMS to compile. Could be on my end. Package might need tweaking.

Seems to not generate the Makefile. I'm bad at finding the relevant logs (past make.log from DKMS).

I pinged the autoconf maintainer on the 25th. He was busy, but 2.71 got released today. Waiting for it to get packaged, then I'll test updating this package.

+1 on the upstream autoconf issue. I also noticed that dkms-install recompiles the whole shebang in the post-transaction hooks (i.e Install DKMS modules stage) even though all of the modules were already built. On "slower" systems (1.8GHz Atom CPUs for example) with multiple kernels, this adds several extra hours for the installation as it essentially doubles the work for no reason. There is no commandline output during this time. Further, said hooks expect dpkg-architecture to be installed, which is usually not the case on non-debian systems.
