[SOLVED]lost files from installed package

hi

I am using gringotts from AUR. I don't know what happen, it did stop to work today.
starting from console I am getting error message about missing library libgringotts...

I did remove libgringotts package and install it again

pacman -S libgringotts
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...

Targets (1): libgringotts-1.2.1-8

Total Download Size:    0.00 MiB

Proceed with installation? [Y/n] Y

(1/1) installing libgringotts                                   [##################################] 100%

then I am trying to list all files belong to that package

root@frodo ~ # pacman -Ql libgringotts
root@frodo ~ # 

it is bit strange, nothing?

checking if it is installed

pacman -Q libgringotts
libgringotts 1.2.1-8

I am not able to build gringotts package

makepkg -f
...
...
checking for GTK2... yes
checking for GDKPIX... yes
checking for LIBGRG... configure: error: Package requirements (libgringotts >= 1.2.0) were not met:

No package 'libgringotts' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBGRG_CFLAGS
and LIBGRG_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...

any idea / help?

thank you for comments ...

Re: [SOLVED]lost files from installed package

The files list for libgringotts also appears to be empty.

I'm guessing it is not meant to be this way. I suspect you need to file a bug report.

Re: [SOLVED]lost files from installed package

I think I found the problem. I tried installing from ABS and it also failed. This prompted me to inspect the PKGBUILD a little more closely. It has a typo.

Please report this as a bug. You may wish to supply a patch such as:

No worries. I was leaving the bug report as an exercise for the new person! lol

Re: [SOLVED]lost files from installed package

This bug can cause some serious WTFs so I decided it should be reported (and hopefully fixed) ASAP.

I generally tell people to open bug reports themselves because
* they should get into habit of doing so
* it might involve posting logs or some further debugging actions and I often don't even use the package it concerns
but this turned out to be a packaging bug, trivial to report and fix.

jancici could probably have tracked the bug himself if he closely inspected the PKGBUILD, but these kind of typos are easily overlooked.

Re: [SOLVED]lost files from installed package

You should use ABS and fix the typo yourself for now. The rebuild took me literally 20 seconds on my Pentium 4 2 GHz.

Re: [SOLVED]lost files from installed package

The bug got fixed.
Please update to libgringotts 1.2.1-9 and remember to mark the thread as solved.

Re: [SOLVED]lost files from installed package

No problem :-)
The bug took a while to get fixed because of my lousy bug reporting.
