Note:

_pkgver=1.0-beta
pkgver=${pkgver/-/_}

as displayed here indicates a typo at line 2, which when fixed would look like:

pkgver=${_pkgver/-/_}

A better way to handle that would be to handle that in a simpler way:

pkgver=1.0_beta
_pkgver=1.0-beta

That's all there is to it, there isn't anymore.
