[Solved]makepkg can't find installed package

Hey Guys,

i want to install google-breakpad-git. This has depot-tools-git as a dependency(the only one not installed). I installed it without error via

makepkg

. After I have done this I runned makepkg in the google-breakpad-git directory and it still tells my I have to install depot-tools-git. Do you have a clue, why makepkg does not find the properly installed package?

You built it with makepkg. Did you actually install it?

fishcop:

pacman -Q google-breadpad-git

If the response is “error: package 'google-breadpad-git' was not found”, you haven’t installed it. See either pacman -U or the -i option to makepkg. If the package is found, then verify that the name isn’t misspelled in the dependant PKGBUILD.

Thanks for the quick respond. Indeed, I forgot the -i.
