PacketTracer Instalation confussion [SOLVED]

==> Making package: packettracer 7.2.1-1 (Thu 17 Jan 2019 02:18:52 PM PST)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Checking buildtime dependencies...
==> Retrieving sources...
  -> Found packettracer
  -> Found linguist
  -> Found packettracer.sh
==> ERROR: Packet Tracer 7.2.1 for Linux 64 bit.tar.gz was not found in the build directory and is not a URL.

[bs@BSArchHome packettracer]$ ls
art          eula72.txt  install    packettracer                               PKGBUILD    set_ptenv.sh  src           tpl.packettracer
backgrounds  extensions  languages  Packet_Tracer_7.2_for_Linux_64_bit.tar.gz  pt.install  set_qtenv.sh  templates
bin          help        linguist   packettracer.sh                            saves       Sounds        tpl.linguist

Referenced AUR install Instructions
the issue i have with these instructions is that the snapshot from aur does not have "packettracer.tar.gz" so i went around an downloaded the tarball from user recolic download link then extracted that to the AUR build directory however for some reason i am still running into the error where the tar cannot be found...

reasoning for using alternate download link is netacad download link seems to be broken for me right now, probably dns issues but i don't think that is the fundamental issue as to why this is not building right now. unless the issues is version compatibility as it is looking for 7.2.1 and i have 7.2 ?

Update: found packetTracer_7.2.1 moved to build directory, still getting same error, do i need to eXtractZeeFiles?

Please post output in [ code ] tags.

Take the message literally, the filename is supposed to be Packet Tracer 7.2.1 for Linux 64 bit.tar.gz (with spaces, not underscores)
