Hi, I resurrected beamer-theme-metropolis when aurphan showed me that it's maintainer had orphaned it because I use it quite a lot.

The upstream was recently updated, but I cannot get it to compile from makepkg -- the latex compiler complains that it cannot write to it's log file. I didn't change the PKGBUILD besides updating the version and dependencies.

Everything works if I cd into $srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver and execute make from the shell.

I've tried to build beamer-theme-metropois in a "clean" Docker container with minimal set of packages, and I cannot reproduce your error: beamer-theme-metropolis builds and installs perfectly (I haven't tried using it though). As you haven't provided PKGBUILD file I'm only guessing what changes you have made to it to make it work. Apart from changing "pkgver" and "sha5sums" variables I also had to modify "depends" array.
