[SOLVE] No Write Permission in $PKGDEST

Hello All,

I got a new update on fsearch package. I use paru for Aur packages. While updating I got an error.

:: Downloading PKGBUILDs...
PKGBUILDs up to date
fetching devel info...
==> ERROR: You do not have write permission for the directory $PKGDEST (/home/Programs/packages).
    Aborting...
error: failed to download sources for 'fsearch-0.2.2-1':

Please help.

Thanks.

Well check the permissions of that directory. Since I'd doubt this to be the default, did you ever change the relevant makepkg option to explicitly define a PKGDEST?
