Fail to install blueman-bluez5-git

Hi all

Tried to install blueman-bluez5-git using pacaur (blueman-bzr uses bluez4 which conflicts with existing bluez5):

# pacaur --asroot -S blueman-bluez5-git

Thanks for help.

Re: Fail to install blueman-bluez5-git

1/ Try building the package as simple user (without --root). There are cases where git package builds fail because of this option. Also, try with makepkg directly.
2/ Building as root is stupid anyway. This option will be dropped in makepkg/pacman 4.2, so better learn to do it the right way from now.

Edit: This was cross-posted from another Arch derivative forum... (pacaur installed by default, seriously?!)
