Hi, This problem is somewhat related to the terminal color problem so I apologize if it's already taken care by these patches. I use rxvt-unicode as my terminal. Since pacman 3.4, when building packages with makechrootpkg, makepkg aborts with the following error: tput: unknown terminal "rxvt-unicode" This happens because I use a clean chroot in which rxvt-unicode isn't installed so the terminal definition file /usr/share/terminfo/r/rxvt-unicode isn't present. As a workaround, I added a 'TERM=xterm' in the wrapper script I use. It would be nice if, instead of aborting on unknown terminals, makepkg would fallback to the dumb terminal. The dumb terminal currently doesn's work as I believe it doesn't support colors. This change along with the color patch would make makpkg more robust when handling different and unusual terminals. Personnally, I will keep my workaround as I like color. ;) Eric
