Failure when building uzbl-git

Hello,

I am experiencing a similar issue while building uzbl-git as reported here in the last few posts https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php? … 2&detail=1

When running "makepkg -s", I receive the following error:

creating /usr/lib/python3.2/site-packages/uzbl
error: could not create '/usr/lib/python3.2/site-packages/uzbl': Permission denied
make: *** [install-event-manager] Error 1

A user on the page posted a patch for this issue:

PKGBUILD diff:

Could someone enlighten me on how this patch should be applied? I have looked over the patching page on the arch wiki, but am still not sure. Should those lines be added at lines 14,15 and 45,46,48 in the PKGBUILD, respectively, and should I then create the file makefile.patch in the same directory with the second part of the code? It is unclear to me as both source=() and md5sums=() are not anywhere in the PKGBUILD, so I can't remove these lines as the patch suggests if I am reading it correctly (I have no coding experience).

Someone posted an alternative patch, I am note sure if this is any easier to apply (https://github.com/keis/uzbl/commit/d4c … 6874dda0ea)

Thank you in advance.
