[SOLVED]yay installing something to find it exists, but it dosen't.

Onlyblacktea · 2022-07-04 03:47:44

I just using this command:

$ yay -S ctpkg

then it shows me

[Aur:1] ctpkg-55-3

:: (1/1) Downloaded PKGBUILD: ctpkg
....
....
Error: Unable to submit for processing (conflicting files)
ctpkg: /usr/bin already exists in the filesystem
An error occurred and no packages were updated.
  -> exit status 1

however, it is not in /usr/bin:

$ pwd
/usr/bin
$ ls | grep ctpkg
$

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I finally made it.

Firstly, edit the PKGBUILD and have it say (It might be in ~/.cache/yay/ctpkg)

install -m755 -D "${srcdir}/ctpkg" "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/ctpkg"

Then remove the "ctpkg-<version>.pkg.tar.zst" file.

Last, run this command:

makepkg --install

Here's my log:

ctpkg: /usr/bin already exists in the filesystem

ctpk contains the file bin in the directory /usr/ which conflicts with the directory /usr/bin provided by filesystem.

	install -m755 -D "${srcdir}/ctpkg" "${pkgdir}/usr/bin"

installs ctpkg as bin.

Thanks, I've tried your suggestion to find this error:

install: failed stat call on '/ctpkg': No such file or directory

obviously, these envs are nulls:

$ echo $srcdir

$ echo $pkgdir

I wonder if this is normal for my newly installed arch? Maybe there's some configurations I've lost.

Edit:
I'm trying to post more detail.

plus, thx for the tips of code tags.
plus plus, I got Chinese messages so I just simply translated it. So it might be a little different, dont mind.

and here's the log of install

$ install -m755 -D "${srcdir}/ctpkg" "${pkgdir}/usr/bin"
install: cannot stat '/ctpkg': No such file or directory

Edit:
I've located the cached ctpkg in "~/.cache/yay/ctpkg"
Is it correct to use this path as "${srcdir}/ctpkg"?

However, I still don't sure "${pkgdir}/usr/bin", maybe just "/usr/bin"?

You're not supposed to run install in some interactive shell.
Edit the PKGBUILD and have it say

install -m755 -D "${srcdir}/ctpkg" "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/ctpkg"

Oh, and comment on the package to let the author know.

Thanks for your help. I'll manage to fix it.
I'm heading Wiki for further help. I'll be back when I'm finished.
