Originally assigned to: @jmcnamara on GitHub.

I am trying to install in ArchLinux, but I am getting:

$ nimble install
   Warning: Package 'nimlibxlsxwriter' has an incorrect structure. It should contain a single directory hierarchy for source files, named 'nimlibxlsxwriter', but file 'doc_custom_properties.nim' is in a directory named 'tests' instead. This will be an error in the future.
      Hint: If 'tests' contains source files for building 'nimlibxlsxwriter', rename it to 'nimlibxlsxwriter'. Otherwise, prevent its installation by adding `skipDirs = @["tests"]` to the .nimble file.

This is the issue tracker for libxlsxwriter not nimlibxlsxwriter (which I don't have anything to do with).

Nevertheless the issue is that the main libxlsxwriter branch is called "main" now and not "master":

git pull --depth=1 origin master
fatal: no se puedo encontrar ref remota master

Try changing your local build file and/or report to the maintainer of nimlibxlsxwriter.

Closing.
