Hi , I was looking at the device-mapper PKGBUILD . I'm not sure but the last line looks problematic :

# fix device-mapper link bug ln -sf /lib/libdevmapper.so "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/libdevmapper.so" || return 1

What If device-mapper is not yet installed in the system ? What am I missing ?

There will be a symlink in /usr/lib/libdevmapper.so that links to /lib/libdevmapper.so, whether this file exists or not. When the package is installed, this file exists because it is included inside the package.
