Sorry, but this is far too much detail, people will get bored ploughing through it. Try to be more concise please.

It compiled fine here with makepkg. As has been said, just saying it didn't work isn't much of a clue. Since it works fine here, I have no idea what problem you are running into.

Try deleting everything (including the PKGBUILD) and starting fresh. I'm getting 20130331 as the version found and that compiled fine. I think you just have a stale PKGBUILD, maybe.

The package compiles fine, but it seems to be empty. The PKGBUILD needs to be updated to package backpac correctly.

$ l /usr/bin/backpac

Doesn't seem to be empty here...

EDIT: Which is not to say it works:

$ backpac --help
/usr/bin/backpac: line 103: XDG_CONFIG_HOME: unbound variable

I'm using pacman/makepkg 4.1. $startdir is deprecated, the support might have been completely removed in this version.

That would explain it. However, since it doesn't seem to work anyway, I'm not sure you are missing much .
