[SOLVED] chromium-pepper-flash fails to install

I use chromium-pepper-flash and today there was an update, but the install script has errors.
Sorry for the locale, but summarized it said cat and sed didn't find a file.
Probably the chromium-pepper-flash.install cannot find the $_default as it says

[ -f etc/chromium-browser/default ] && _default='etc/chromium-browser/default'
[ -f etc/chromium-dev/default ] && _default='etc/chromium-dev/default'
[ -f etc/chromium/default ] && _default='etc/chromium/default'

Anyways the installation was successful.

Re: [SOLVED] chromium-pepper-flash fails to install

Solved, must edit the path which is missing the first / like this

[ -f etc/chromium-browser/default ] && _default='/etc/chromium-browser/default'
                                                 ^
[ -f etc/chromium-dev/default ] && _default='/etc/chromium-dev/default'
                                             ^
[ -f etc/chromium/default ] && _default='/etc/chromium/default'
                                         ^

Re: [SOLVED] chromium-pepper-flash fails to install

Do you have Chromium installed? If not, those errors were expected up until the latest update ava1ar made (earlier today). Try again with the latest, unedited build files from the AUR and see if you still get the errors.

I see. Today I updated and the errors disappeared.
I don't know if it was my correction or else.

Re: [SOLVED] chromium-pepper-flash fails to install

If you were using the vanilla AUR build files, then it can't be your solution.

The script now exits early if there are no chromium config files on the system, rather than trying to read and edit nothing (which is where the error message were coming from).
