[freecad-git] package experiencing install issues (fakeroot bug?)

The https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/freecad-git package has long been plagued with problems due to 3rd party dependency hell. Anyway, we're trying to figure out why the check() portion of the PKGBUILD Is failing to save and open files created in the fakeroot tmp/ directories as part of unit-tests for quality assurance and picking up regressions.  I'm just wondering if this is something that is a known issue or new or is it just related to this specific AUR package?

tl;dr https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/free … ent-851196

Don't do that: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Genera … es#Bumping

Don't make us go on a goose chase, post the full output and the error messages you are getting from trying to build. In general, the default tmpfs setup is configured in such a way that only the original user can manipulate files it creates, so this might indeed be some relation with the fakeroot.

And test with makepkg instead of known to be buggy helpers like pamac. Someone replied to you on the AUR mentioning that it works in a standard devtools chroot, so this is in essence a pamac bug and you should ask the pamac developers.

Builds fine here.  Are you still using Manjaro?
