sh: line 0: test: .: binary operator expected

Generally means that there is an unquoted argument in a shell 'test', e.g.

  if [ $var = 'some string' ]

or

  if test $var = 'some string'

In both equivalent cases above, if $var contains a 'space', the test fails
with the error you report. Double check your PKGBUILD or and of the install
scripts.
