[SOLVED] Braid AUR "ERROR: There is no agent set up to handle file..."

SOLUTION AT BOTTOM OF THREAD!

I have installed numerous AUR packages in the past.  However, this is the first that I am unable to figure out.

I assume I am supposed to extract the tar, copy the Braid package files (from my owned copy of Braid) to the same directory, run makepkg, then install via pacman.  The problem I am having is when I go to use makepkg I get the following error:

# makepkg -s
==> Making package: braid 1.0.2-1 (DATE TIME)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Checking buildtime dependencies...
==> Retrieving Sources...
==> ERROR: There is no agent set up to handle file URLs. Check /etc/makepkg.conf.
    Aborting...

I am not finding any solutions on Google.  Please help!

Edit - Edited to show thread solved.

That PKGBUILD looks odd.  If you are manually copying the .bin file to the build directory, then there is no reason for the file:// entry to even be in the source array.  I'd suggest just removing the entry from the source array - and then also remove the first checksum.

I have no idea what this is for. Maybe someone else can enlighten me.

source=("$_gamepkg"::"file://$_gamepkg"

Anyway, unless I'm missing something obvious about why they did that, change the source line to this:

source=($_gamepkg

Don't extract the braid file. Just leave it as a bin (apparently it should be braid-linux-build2.run.bin) and then run makepkg.

I'd say leave it in the source array, just not with the (useless?) file handler. Not sure why you cross posted, but this is my suggestion:

I figured it would increase the pool of participants.  I didn't see the flaw in logic until after the posts were made.  I will keep both updated once a solution is met.

Your suggestion worked, but now I have a new problem, which is that I don't have the bin file.  I think this AUR package is set to use a bin file from Humble Indie Bundle 2.  I have a package that I can run via (which I was unaware of until a few minutes ago):

# chmod a+x [filename]
# ./[filename]

I am going to scour the internet for this bin file.  If I find it I will post an update.  If not, I will mark it as solved, since technically your advice did solve the error problem I was getting.

Thank you.

My comment here was about the PKGBUILD itself. I hadn't see your other post yet. I didn't (don't) see the point of why they wrote a file handler like that.

Re: [SOLVED] Braid AUR "ERROR: There is no agent set up to handle file..."

SOLUTION! Provided by tdy

braid-linux-build2.run.bin from Humble Indie Bundle 2 is required!

You must edit the PKGBUILD file.

source=("$_gamepkg"::"file://$_gamepkg"

Change the source line to this:

source=($_gamepkg

Don't extract the braid file.  Just place it in the same directory as the PKGBUILD file.

Run makepkg

# makepkg -s

Then run pacman

pacman -U [filename].pkg.tar

YOU ARE DONE!

UPDATE!!!

AFTER THIS THREAD WAS SOLVED, THE AUR PACKAGE WAS UPDATED TO SOLVE THIS ERROR.  JUST MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE braid-linux-build2.run.bin FILE IN THE SAME DIRECTORY, AND THE INSTALL WILL WORK.
