[aur-general] makepkg/yaourt issues
Hi all, after recent upgrades (pacman 4, yaourt) i'm having issues with makepkg/yaourt (i) zipman option in "/etc/makepkg.conf" if zipman is enabled in "/etc/makepkg.conf", makepkg gives errors like [...] ==> Tidying install... -> Purging unwanted files... -> Compressing man and info pages... ==> ERROR: An unknown error has occurred. Exiting... [...] when running as root (yaourt/makepkg). Surprisingly man pages do get gzipped and work correctly, so no real problem, just wondering. When running makepkg as normal user, this error message doesn't occur. Similar issue is discussed in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1046860. (ii) version control example: trying to build lilv ( http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49333) from aur, which contains the line "depends=([...] 'sord>=0.5.0' 'sord<1.0.0' [...])" when running "yaourt -S lilv" i get an error: ==> lilv dependencies: [...] - sord>=0.5.0 (building from AUR) - sord<1.0.0 (building from AUR) [...] ==> Continue building lilv ? [Y/n] ==> ------------------------------ ==> ==> Building and installing package ==> Install or build missing dependencies for lilv: error: target not found: sord<1.0.0 ==> Restart building lilv ? [y/N] but when installing sord-0.5.0-1 beforhand, lilv installs fine: ~$ yaourt -S lilv ==> lilv dependencies: [...] - sord>=0.5.0 (already installed) - sord<1.0.0 (already installed) [...] ==> Continue building lilv ? [Y/n] [...] Is this a bug or normal behaviour? Sorry for this messy post and thanks in advance for your replies. -masutu
Hi, Although yaourt is a handy tool that has eased many a user into installing packages from AUR, it's not part of the official distribution, not part of the Arch Linux project and is not supported. It's even made fun of and ridiculed by several prominent Arch Linux maintainers. If there should be a problem with pacman that is unrelated to yaourt, please report a bug at bugs.archlinux.org. -- Sincerely, Alexander Rødseth Arch Linux Trusted User (xyproto on IRC, trontonic on AUR)
