pacaur - unable to install linux-aufs_friendly

Hi all,

I am using pacaur to build linux-aufs_friendly and after compilation succeeds along with packaging, pacaur attempts to install the newly built packages.  It fails saying duplicate package:

duplicate target

Any ideas how I can fix this issue?

Thanks,

Walter

You might be better off asking in the pacaur thread:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=119473

Also does using just makepkg (with no AUR helpers) work? Does pacaur only fail with that one package?

Re: pacaur - unable to install linux-aufs_friendly

The error "duplicate target" sounds like it's coming from pacman/libalpm. Can pacaur be run in debug mode or something so you can see exactly what it's trying to do?

Hi,

I actually tried using packer as a comparison but am having some other network issues.  I will plan on trying packer, then makepkg, and finally pacaur with debug information.

Thanks,

Re: pacaur - unable to install linux-aufs_friendly

I save a permanent copy of the AUR packages I install and I got this duplucate target error on one occasion when I had two versions of the same package saved.

Look around for a second copy of what you are trying to install from AUR.

I don't have any duplicate copies.  I get this error when building an Arch Linux image (heavily modified Arch ISO scripts).  I'll have to configure the scripts to run in debug mode.  I temporarily reverted back to the working packer AUR helper since it works except for building xen.

Re: pacaur - unable to install linux-aufs_friendly

Here is an easy way to check if pacaur itself is buggy: build the package manually with "makepkg -si". If this fails, then it is the PKGBUILD that needs to be corrected. Otherwise I'd be happy to see a debug output
(packer uses a different way to install packages, so the result could be different).

Hi Spyhawk,

Ok, makepkg -si does fail as well:

loading packages...
error: '/tmp/linux-aufs_friendly/linux-aufs_friendly-headers-3.7.10-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz': duplicate target
==> WARNING: Failed to install built package(s).

Re: pacaur - unable to install linux-aufs_friendly

Looks like this is a splitted package (linux-aufs_friendly & linux-aufs_friendly-headers) which is a bit hackish as split package are not supported by the AUR. There is a way to make them working - I've seen some working in the past - but I've really no idea how to make that one working.
Anyway, nothing that can be done on the pacaur side. You might signal the maintainer that "makepkg -si" fails to install this package.
