[SOLVED] google-chrome update fails

Hi,

Apologies if this is a dumb-basic problem, but for some reason chrome is not updating via pacaur.

I noticed chrome was complaining about being an unsupported version in gmail, and I realised my google-chrome-stable was v38, so I went to update it in pacaur...

 pacaur -S google-chrome
:: Package(s) google-chrome not found in repositories, trying AUR...
:: resolving dependencies...
:: looking for inter-conflicts...

AUR Packages  (1): google-chrome-43.0.2357.81-1  

:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n] y
:: Retrieving package(s)...
:: View google-chrome PKGBUILD? [Y/n] n
[sudo] password for timbeauhk: 
/usr/bin/pacaur: line 720: cd: /tmp/pacaurtmp-timbeauhk/google-chrome: No such file or directory
:: Building google-chrome package(s)...
==> ERROR: PKGBUILD does not exist.
:: Could not clean google-chrome

I have just performed a pacman -Syu and all updated.

I have rebooted, even though this should not be necessary.
chrome was not running at the time.

It is likey some other fundamental error/mistake on my part, as not being able to change directory is a pretty basic step to fail on, and hints at a silent mkdir failure?

The dir and privs, from a root perspective, are as follows:

[root@machine timbeauhk]# ls -al /tmp/pacaurtmp-timbeauhk/
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 timbeauhk users  60 Jun  6 13:04 .
drwxrwxrwt 8 root      root  180 Jun  6 13:40 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 timbeauhk users  61 Jun  6 13:05 rpc.json

Ideas would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Install it manually, see if that works...

That did it, thanks.

Shame it did not install via pacaur, but hey.

Re: [SOLVED] google-chrome update fails

Use yaourt sometimes (I don't know why and I really do want to know) some packages will install with yaourt and will not with pacman.
