[Solved] Creating a package: directory exists in filesystem

I created the package for cbvike (see here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/cbvike/)
I put the resulting library into /usr/lib/codeblocks/plugins. This directory was created by the codeblocks package, to keep the plugins there.

Why is pacman opposing against putting anything into /usr/lib/codeblocks? /usr is owned by numerous packages and it never complains.

/edit: silly me, I simply used `install` the wrong way. the plugins "directory" was not a directory but a file in my package

I think you need a trailing / after plugins : install -Dm664 libcbVike.so "$pkgdir/usr/lib/codeblocks/plugins"

Edit:  I missed seeing your edit.
