Cannot install gcc5-5.5.0-4 with pacaur

Hi,

I had an issue with gcc5-5.5.0-4 not building when using 'pacaur -Syu' to update the system. I found some advice to build it in a clean CHROOT environment, then I changed into the '~/.cache/pacaur-ggc5' folder and ran 'extra-x86_64-build' (like described on the developer wiki page). The build ran through just fine.

Now I am a bit lost since I never used chroot builds before. The script seems to have installed the gcc5 packages but when I do a 'pacaur -Ss gcc5' it still shows the installed version is 5.5.0-2. 'pacaur -Syu' consequently wants to rebuild gcc5 and fails like in the beginning. Is there any step I have missed, do I need to manually install the package which i build with 'extra-x86_64-build' or do I only need to make pacaur aware of it?

Cheers
Tom

extra-x86_64-build does not install anything, you still have to install the package that it produced.

Ah ok thx,... the one I was missing was 'pacaur -U gcc5-5.5.0-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz'. Couldn't find the -U option first. Somehow overread it in the man.

I hope you meant pacman, not pacaur there.
