LIRC component does not work

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

After migration to Hass.io I’m experiencing problems with the LIRC component.
After starting Home Assistant with the LIRC component (https://home-assistant.io/components/lirc/) enabled I got the following errors in the log:

ERROR (SyncWorker_7) [homeassistant.util.package] Unable to install package python-lirc==1.2.3: Command "/usr/bin/python3 -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip-build-_yamll9a/python-lirc/setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-f_cqv9tf-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile --home=/tmp/tmpg7r9_5pa" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-_yamll9a/python-lirc/

Running on a RPi2, HA 0.49

Is the package liblircclient-dev missing?

Dude I’ve been asking the same thing. I’ve even tweeted them about it and it doesn’t look like there is any support right now. Hopefully its coming in the future. I’ve been trying to find a work around and if I do ill let you know

Is there still no fix for this? I have the same problem.

I get the same error.
Could not find a solution to get LIRC running on hass.io.
