Okay, thanks for the info, will do that. In fact, the PKGBUILD I attached was 
not the most recent one (with the correct version numbers). Anyway, a more 
delightful error message like "Package eibd already exists in  pkgbase eibd, 
cannot overwrite with base bcusdk" would have made more sense to me...
