Hi,

that's no big deal.

".SRCINFO files contain package metadata in a simple, unambiguous
format, so that tools such as the AUR's Web back-end or AUR helpers may
retrieve a package's metadata without parsing the PKGBUILD directly."

Don't replace one AUR helper by another, if an AUR helper fails. You
can build it using "makepkg".
