[SOLVED] MAKEPKG: Error when trying to install FortiClient RPM

live4thamuzik · 2024-03-21 17:55:43

Hello,

I am trying to install forticlient_vpn_7.2.2.0753_x86_64.rpm

From what I can see the packages in the AUR are out of date so I downloaded the rpm file directly from Fortinet. (https://www.fortinet.com/support/product-downloads#vpn)

File was downloaded and saved to /home/%USERNAME%/Downloads

I created "PKGBUILD" file in the same directory as the .rpm file. here is the PKGBUILD file:

# Metadata; be sure to set this to reasonable values to not confuse your
# package manager or cause name conflicts with the repositories.
pkgname="forticlient_vpn_7.2.2.0753_x86_64.rpm"
pkgver="7.2.2.0753"
pkgrel="1"
pkgdesc="FortiClient VPN"
arch=("x86_64")

# The RPM file you want to install; place in the same directory as this file.
source=("forticlient_vpn_7.2.2.0753_x86_64.rpm")

# Assuming you're not going to push this to AUR or whatever, you can just skip
# the integrity check here. Otherwise, replace SKIP with the output of
# "sha -a 256 filename.rpm".
sha256sums=("SKIP")

package() {
  # Copy all directories from $srcdir into $pkgdir. $srcdir will already have
  # been populated with the contents of package.rpm, but it also contains a
  # symlink to it, which we don't want to copy; anything in $pkgdir after this
  # command will be installed to your root directory.
  find $srcdir/ -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type d | xargs cp -r -t "$pkgdir"
}

Here is the error I run into after running "makepkg -si"

-Thanks

(ADDITIONAL INFO)
My initial thought was to chown the ./opt/forticlient/ directory it cannot modify due to permissions however, the directory it is complaining about appears to be in a pkg folder which is created in ~/Downlaods after running makepkg

Usually there's more needed then just extracting and copying to $pkgdir .

Are you ok with using the *.deb version ?

If yes, use https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/forticlient-vpn , apply the patch in currently the first comment on that page and you should have 7.2.2.0753 .

Incase you prefer to continue with your PKGBUILD above : add options=(!debug) .

I'll give the .deb version a shot. Thanks!

You would need to replace "$pkgdir"/lib with "$pkgdir"/usr/lib as /lib is a symlink to /usr/lib provided by the filesystem package.
