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.
aha . Lesson of the day : We can link non-existing files . Thank you for the clarification .
