hi! trying to get lookout installed on arch, and pacman complains about not having libsoup installed (epic fallout reference omg). this would be fine except for the fact that it needs aur/libsoup, when extra/libsoup3 exists 😭

Lookout
This will:
• add https://pkg.lookout.hackclub.com to a [lookout] section in /etc/pacman.conf
• trust the signing key 1A6D22590D34B83E2D0B3C8DF4806E984D9DA365
• install lookout-bin with pacman
Nothing else is changed. Uninstall with your package manager.
