The following failure will make makepkg still exit with return code 0:
% PKGEXT=.tar makepkg -srief
...
==> Installing package awesome-git with pacman -U...
error: failed to init transaction (unable to lock database)
error: could not lock database: File exists
if you're sure a package manager is not already
running, you can remove /var/lib/pacman/db.lck
==> WARNING: Failed to install built package(s).
The code:
if ! run_pacman -U "${pkglist[@]}"; then
warning "$(gettext "Failed to install built package(s).")"
return 0
fi
It seems to be done intentionally:

makepkg: do not bail on failure to install built package
Fixes FS#13417. Do no exit makepkg on a failure to install the
built package(s). This allows clean-up to still occur.

Since the whole purpose of this appears to be running the clean-up in
case of errors, the following would work:

(just a proof of concept, there are other calls to install_package)
My use case is a script to rebuild and install a package locally, and
this should abort also in case of install failures.
The workaround might be to not use `-i` with `makepkg`, but run `pacman`
on the generated package instead.
Thanks,
Daniel.
