[SOLVED] AUR claims that the src tarball containing nested subdirs

josephg · 2012-10-21 02:23:20

Hi there.

I'm the maintainer of lib32-pam in AUR. It always worked just fine for me, but this particular package version won't be accepted by AUR and I don't understand why.

Steps to reproduce:
- unpack source package of lib32-pam-1.1.6-1
- makepkg -fs
- makepkg -fS
- submit to AUR
- Fail and get error message:

"Error - source tarball may not contain nested subdirectories."

Please note I did not use 'tar'.

Dows anyone know what is going on?

Thanks in advance!

Which file are you submitting to the AUR?

It looks fine here. If you have atool, run als on the tarball you submit to the AUR to see what is actually in it.

I'm trying to submit this tarball. The only weird thing I found is this output:

$ tar tvf lib32-pam-1.1.6-1.src.tar.gz

I see that in the tarball I downloaded from your links - but I do not get that when I regenerate it with makepkg.

So, you regenerate the package and you don't see this wrongly added metadata ? Case yes, can you please try to upload to AUR ? In case you succeed, package will be updated.

This other thread you mentioned, I've already seen it, but it never used Selinux, so not exactly related.

Still, I don't have a clue why this happened...

I had to change the arch variable to "any" to rebuild it, so it shouldn't be uploaded as is.

Known bug: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28802
Fixed, but not released: https://projects.archlinux.org/aur.git/ … 64e9f55b17

You could upload this yourself through http://dev.aur.archlinux.org, I'm sure.

I was not aware of this bug neither this development address of AUR. It indeed worked like a charm.

Thanks, Falconindy

p.s.: I loved AUR 2.0.0 interface already
