[SOLVED] makepkg / pacman will not install third party packages

thugwaffle · 2017-09-09 13:36:45

I'm trying to install pacaur with makepkg. After cloning the git repo from the AUR, running

$ makepkg -si

results in

==> WARNING: A package has already been built, installing existing package...

However, I have no binary placed on my path (this should be at /usr/bin/pacaur, if I'm reading the PKGBUILD correctly). I'm having the same issues with other third party packages. Any and all help is appreciated.

Looks like most of the folders inside the pacaur tarball are empty, so something went very wrong during building.

please run

makepkg --clean --log

and post the log files .

'man makepkg' says there should be a log file in the build directory, but I don't see one. Here's stdout after running makepkg --clean --log

I wonder if somehow makepkg were corrupted on your system? pacman -Qkk pacman

to avoid installing the already built pkg try this

makepkg -fi

thugwaffle · 2017-09-09 15:45:34

Still the same issue after running 'makepkg -fi'

What are the mount options of the filesystem you are building the package on?

Slithery · 2017-09-09 15:59:26

Can you post the contents of your /etc/makepkg.conf (and your users ~/.makepkg.conf if it exists).

/dev/sda2 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)

is in the output from 'mount'. I hope that's what you're asking for (sda1 is just a small boot partition)

Assuming you are not building the package under something like /tmp yes that is what I was after but the output seems fine.
What is the output of

# pacman -Qkk

Spyhawk · 2017-09-09 16:08:31

Looks like the "install" command fails for some reason.

How about:

type install

huh, looks like I'd made my own script, called it install and placed it on my path :facepalm:
I've successfully installed pacaur now, thank you!
