There is a new pull request by tornaria against master on the void-packages repository https://github.com/tornaria/void-packages arpack https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/44776 arpack-ng: update to 3.9.0. #### Testing the changes - I tested the changes in this PR: **briefly** The update was masked since it caused test failures in igraph (https://github.com/igraph/igraph/issues/2311 and https://github.com/opencollab/arpack-ng/issues/401). Since then a PR fixing the issues has been proposed at https://github.com/opencollab/arpack-ng/pull/414 (that's the added `b3fe4ad7.patch` here). I've checked the test suite of igraph now passes. A patch file from https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/44776.patch is attached
