Re: pacaur - an AUR helper that minimizes user interaction
I just noticed that pacaur does not properly send an exit code when an install/update fails due to a failed gpg check:

pacaur -Syu does more than installing package, the last step is cleaning the leftover.. which succeeds. But generally speaking, errors handling is most probably the main weakness of pacaur. There are several issues/feature requests open in the bugtracker.

Re: pacaur - an AUR helper that minimizes user interaction
I figured out the problem seems like because I run a different locale other than english , pacaur doesn accept y as an answer for yes. I have to press the letter for my locale (in my case danish) for it to run the makepkg and install the aur package. Very confusing.
I generated the da_DK.UTF-8 locale on my computer, rebooted and all I can say is that this is working for me. It seems the issue is on your side.

I'm sure I don't need to tell you it should only give a non-zero exit status if all steps succeed. But in any case, pacaur -S [packagename] will also exit 0 after a failed gpg check.

Re: pacaur - an AUR helper that minimizes user interaction
I found your post because I had the same GPG key check problem for ffmpeg-full. I kept searching and found a solution which I posted at at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ffmpeg-full/ :
I found http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions … nd-tar-bz2 and just had to do this:
gpg --keyserver x-hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys 0xD67658D8to get it to work.
The argument for --recv-keys was found by trying to verify manually:
gpg --verify ffmpeg-2.5.2.tar.bz2.asc.

Error exit codes should now behave as expected. Feedback welcome. You can test it out by installing the "pacaur-git" package.

Re: pacaur - an AUR helper that minimizes user interaction
Spyhawk -- thanks a lot. I can confirm the git version now works as expected (at least re: this issue). Thanks for getting on this.
piratejon -- thanks for you good intentions; I already solved the gpg issue on my own. I was just posting it here to illustrate the problem with pacaur.

Re: pacaur - an AUR helper that minimizes user interaction
Suddenly, dependencies are not being installed before the target packages.
For example, 'paper-gtk-theme-git' depends on 'gtk-engine-murrine', but murrine is never installed. And makepkg eventually fails when building the paper-gtk-theme-git package because dependencies haven't been met.
Similarly, installing 'gnome-multi-writer-git' fails because 'libgusb-stable' is needed. Notably, pacaur does prompt me to review the PKGBUILD for 'libgusb-stable', but still fails to install it first. Again, I can tell pacaur to install 'libgusb-stable', then later, install 'gnome-multi-writer-git'.
Those are just examples. This appears to reproduce for anything from the AUR that needs dependencies resolved. This behavior reproduces on three unique machines. All three machines have had pacaur and cower rebuilt (even if they didn't need it), expac reinstalled, and pacman-db-upgrade has been run (one was a new installation done around 12 hours ago, meaning, after the most recent pacaur PKGBUILD was pushed to the AUR).
Is anyone else hitting this? IRC was incredibly unhelpful, as usual.

Re: pacaur - an AUR helper that minimizes user interaction
@jswagner> Thanks for the report. My entire monkey-tester team is in extended vacation (due to a lack of banana) and a last minute change resulted in a code break. Should be quick-fixed in the newly released 4.2.17.

Re: pacaur - an AUR helper that minimizes user interaction
It appears I spoke too soon when I said the issue about exit codes was completely fixed. There seems to be a problem in the other direction now--I'm getting non-zero exit codes in circumstances where it seems as if no error occurred.
I'm having a hard time pinning down exactly under what conditions this obtains, mainly because my best guess is that this happens whenever it updates an AUR package, but the only way for me to test that hypothesis would be to create fake package updates and submit to AUR, and I don't want to do that.
However, last time I ran the command:
pacaur --noconfirm --noedit --noprogressbar -SyuIt gave the output in this pastebin -- I don't see anything there that qualifies as an error, but it gave me a non-zero exit code.
I'm using pacaur 4.2.17; let me know if I should go back to the git branch instead.

Re: pacaur - an AUR helper that minimizes user interaction
You're doing it wrong. It should work if you configure pacmatic to use pacaur instead of pacman.

Re: pacaur - an AUR helper that minimizes user interaction
Is it OK to ask in this thread what is the key advantage of pacaur over packer/apacman if someone happens to have used both these AUR helpers? (I'm asking because pacaur has another AUR dependency - cower, whereas apacman - doesn't.)

Have you read the wiki page?
Also, a few reasons you might prefer packer over pacaur:
- does not need to be recompiled when a libalpm change occurs (unlike cower).
- interactive search ("packer pkg") like yaourt does. I won't implement this feature in pacaur.
- you like the name better.
Feel free to ask any more specific questions about pacaur.

Re: pacaur - an AUR helper that minimizes user interaction
pacaur hasn't worked for me in quite a while. It won't open any pkgbuilds for viewing and if I tell it to proceed with the install without viewing the pkgbuild I get this:
/usr/bin/pacaur: line 668: cd: /tmp/pacaurtmp-gary/snake-ncurses: No such file or directory

Check /tmp/pacaurtmp-gary/ folder permission. If you ever ran pacaur as root in the past, it might be possible that you lost write permission in this directory.

Try removing the /tmp/pacaurtmp-gary/ folder entirely and try again.
If the issue still occurs, cd to the /tmp/pacaurtmp-gary/ directory as your user, and try "cower -d snake-ncurses". Check that the snake-ncurses is correctly created. Does it contains the PKGBUILD?

Re: pacaur - an AUR helper that minimizes user interaction
If you are referring to rebuilding cower, I tried that, it won't build with yaourt due to a PGP signature not being verified.
