[pacman-dev] makepkg -i should fail when packages cannot be installed

Hi,

I would file a bug report but somehow...

It seems makepkg -i just throws a warning if it cannot install the package 
after build. I would prefer if it would at least return something different 
from 0.

My scripts assume that everything is fine if makepkg retuns 0 and an inter 
package file conflict wasn't noticed due to the behaviour that makepkg did 
return 0 even if something went wrong.
