Need help installing .rpm nordvpnteams for work

Hi, I have extracted the .rpm package and I have now a PKGBUILD which is this:

pkgname=nordvpnteams-latest-1_0_0-noarch
pkgver=current
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A program necessary for VPN"
arch=("x86_64")
url=""
license=('Unknown')
depends=()
makedepends=('rpmextract')
checkdepends=()
optdepends=()
provides=()
conflicts=()
replaces=()
backup=()
options=('emptydirs')
install="nordvpnteams-latest-1_0_0-noarch.install"
changelog=
source=()
noextract=()
md5sums=()
validpgpkeys=()

prepare() {
  cp ../nordvpnteams-latest-1.0.0-noarch.rpm $srcdir/
}

package() {
  rpm2cpio nordvpnteams-latest-1.0.0-noarch.rpm | cpio -idmv -D $pkgdir/
}

However when I run makepkg -s it shows the following error:

==> Making package: nordvpnteams-latest-1_0_0-noarch current-1 (Mon 02 Aug 2021 10:09:40 PM HKT)

/etc/yum.repos.d/nordvpnteams.repo
5 blocks

I have changed the permissions of said folders and it's directories to 777.

Anyone can help me? I really this specific application for work.

Thanks.

You can't use the AUR package? https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nordvpnteams-bin/

Moving to AUR issues (even if you can't use the AUR package, this is not an installation issue, and the AUR section is for packages not in the official repos).

nordvpnteams-latest-1.0.0-noarch.rpm contains a yum config for a repo rather than the package nordvpnteams itself.
