"--no-check-certificate: command not found" error

Hello,

I was trying to install "vba-m-gtk-svn" from AUR and I used the command:

[spai@L ~]$ yaourt -S vba-m-gtk-svn
==> Resuming previous build

==> Downloading vba-m-gtk-svn PKGBUILD from AUR...

==> ERROR: An unknown error has occured. Exiting...

Long story cut short:

==> Building and installing package
/etc/makepkg.conf: line 103: --no-check-certificate: command not found

==> ERROR: An unknown error has occured. Exiting...
Error: Makepkg was unable to build vba-m-gtk-svn package.

The above "--no-check-certificate: command not found" always happens when I try to install from AUR. How do I make my Arch "find" the command?

Thanks,
Spai

First step - look at line 103 of /etc/makepkg.conf. If you don't understand what you're looking at, post it here for someone else to look at.

It just says --no-check-certificate. Thats all

I dont know what to do with it.

Thank you,

Re: "--no-check-certificate: command not found" error

pacman -Qo /etc/makepkg.conf
/etc/makepkg.conf is owned by pacman 3.1.4-1

Looks like that file is part of the pacman package. If I were you I'd try

pacman -S pacman

That might well fix it. (If you've made any customizations make a backup copy of the file before you do this.)

If that doesn't fix it take a good look at the lines around it. It looks like it might be a preference that got shifted to a new line, rather than staying on the same line as the command it goes with, but that's just my first impression.

Why not post your full /etc/makepkg.conf ?
