Quote from nikosgr

We do not provide support for Arch, see with Arch packager.

That said in this specific case, since those are dependencies of the DOSBox support rather than PlayOnLinux itself, it could be fixed by adding the missing libraries inside the DOSBox support (#1951)

FYI, you can install 32-bit libraries by activating the 32-bit repositories in /etc/pacman.conf

Once you do that, refresh pacman and then you can get almost any of the 32 bit libraries by using their regular name with lib32 in front of it. Like "pacman -S lib32-libpng". 

"But please do tell me why playonlinux didnt by default download the 32bit dependenceid it needed."

We also do not manage the graphics dependencies of peoples systems. That is something that you would need to do through your particular distro, but if you use the 'lib32-' prefix after enabling the multi-arch support in /etc/pacman.conf, you should be able to pull any 32 bit dependency that you need without going through AUR. 

Thank you for the explanation.
