Dependency error building AURBUILD: versionpkg

Gents,

i try to setup aurbuild, but when running

makepkg aurbuild.tar.gz

i get a

Missing Dependencies:
   -> versionpkg>=0.7.1

well, i downloaded the latest versionpkg.sh, made it executable, renamed it to "versionpkg" and moved it to /usr/sbin, where a "which" could find it, so it seems to be in the search path.

Whats going wrong, does somebody have an idea ?

Re: Dependency error building AURBUILD: versionpkg

You need the package versionpkg (pacman -S versionpkg).

Ok, this is what I thought before trying to copy by myself.

When I

pacman -S versionpkg

I get told, that pacman doesnt find the package in the synchro database. Any idea ? Is something missing, maybe in the pacman.conf ?

Re: Dependency error building AURBUILD: versionpkg

it's in community ..
you need to activate the community repo in /etc/pacman.conf

THX for reply,

this is what I thought, I uncommented the

Include = /etc/pacman.d/community

in the community section and edited the community file in pacman.d, but I still get the same error. BTW, doing a "pacman-Sy" now only reports to refresh the "current" and the "extra" databases. I would expect now to hear something about the "community database" or something like that, but that doesnt happen. Seems like he ignoring the whole community stuff

Re: Dependency error building AURBUILD: versionpkg

Fo accuracy's sake, it's worth mentioning that this

makepkg aurbuild.tar.gz

is wrong. makepkg options are detailed in man makepkg, and an abbreviated version is provided in makepkg -h|--help.
