Good catch, this made me guess the problem without even looking at makepkg.

The problem is that I just broke the compatibility with the old
DLAGENTS array (pre 3.2.0).
The old scheme :
'http::/usr/bin/wget -c -t 3 --waitretry=3'
The new one :
'http::/usr/bin/wget -c -t 3 --waitretry=3 -O %o %u'

To G_Syme : you need to merge your makepkg.conf.new file to get the
new syntax above. After that, it should work perfectly.

I am not sure that it is worth supporting the old DLAGENTS array for
this new filename feature, but at least makepkg should exit more
gracefully and warn about the problem.
