"unsource" a file

mrturcot · 2017-05-07 01:41:33

So ive pulled a rookie move and sourced my "/etc/makepkg.conf". Im not sure what I was trying to achieve looking back but nonetheless ive encountered one odd issue and its bothering me to no end. When it initialy sourced this red msg poped up. FYI im using ZSH.

~ % source /etc/makepkg.conf
Nothing to do - goodbye

Result
~ % yaourt -Syua
Nothing to do - goodbye
:: Synchronizing package databases...

Every time I do something in yaourt I get that red message "Nothing to do - goodbye".

I tired this http://nextrevision.net/2015/unsourcing … s-in-bash/ unsource.sh - https://hastebin.com/wozukuvume.bash and get

~ % sudo ./unsource.sh /etc/makepkg.conf ⏎
Nothing to do - goodbye
Cleared: BUILDDIR
Cleared: CARCH
Cleared: CFLAGS

Cleared: DEBUG_CXXFLAGS
Cleared: LDFLAGS
Cleared: MAKEFLAGS
Cleared: PKGEXT
Cleared: SRCEXT
Cleared: STRIP_BINARIES
Cleared: STRIP_SHARED
Cleared: STRIP_STATIC

I've also tried to "unset" all those arguments manually, still get that red message.

/etc/profile - https://hastebin.com/ijazededud.bash
.zshrc - https://hastebin.com/ipekinepel.bash

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I really like my Arch setup and dont want to reinstall over something as small as this.
Thanks!!

There are so many things wrong here. First, if you really just sourced /etc/makepkg.conf then the solution would just be to close the shell/terminal you are in and start a new one. The effects of that source command only last for the current shell session.

Second, the results you are describing could not come from a normal makepkg.conf, nor from any modification to a makepkg.conf that I could imagine. What is in your makepkg.conf? Are you sure that's what you sourced?

Third, if yaourt fails with that output, does makepkg as well?

Fourth that script - if it does at all what you think it does - must be run as your user not as root. And if it doesn't do exactly what you think it does, you absolutely shouldn't run it as root!

Your problem is not caused by sourcing the file, it is caused by the edit you made to it. The wget2 line is wrong, delete it.

WOW lol THANK YOU! I would get that "Nothing to do - goodbye" like 6 times installing one AUR package LOL

# Other common tools:
# /usr/bin/snarf
# /usr/bin/lftpget -c
# /usr/bin/wget

~ % yaourt -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...

Success! Back to normal Many Thanks!
