For example:

  -> Purging unwanted files...
  -> Compressing man and info pages...
  -> Removing libtool files...
  -> Removing empty directories...
==> Creating package...
  -> Generating .PKGINFO file...
  -> Adding install file...
  -> Compressing package...
==> Leaving fakeroot environment.

comm: file 1 is not in sorted order
comm: file 2 is not in sorted order
comm: file 1 is not in sorted order
comm: file 2 is not in sorted order
==> ERROR: An unknown error has occurred. Exiting...
==> Removing installed dependencies...

Have seen the comm: error a few times lately. Apps appear to install without issue, what is the comm referencing?

comm - compare two sorted files line by line

This is fixed in the upcoming 4.0.2 release.

See e.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … base_group
Both inputs have to be sorted before feeding them to comm:

comm -23 <(pacman -Qeq|sort) ...

and not just

comm -23 <(pacman -Qeq) ...

I can hardly wait. I have broken packages installed in the system due to the fact that I cannot build new ones because of this bug

Yes you can... that error does not actually cause any real issues.

Hmm... correcto! too late of a day and over-looked the fact... but it works if I upgrade manually... my deploy scripts see the output failed so it doesn't auto-deploy... I guess thats why I panicked. Manual pushing it is... thanks for bopping me upside the head >_>
