strange software from AUR - epsxe

Hello,
today i downloaded epsxe from aur
first, the md5-sum was wrong, so i disabled it.

then when i run the program it made a folder .epsxe under /home/user/ but owned by root ?!?!

then i had a problem, because no space was free under /-root

i dont want to publish FUD but maybe s.o. should check this

did you use a sudo in front of the yaourt command or maybe use the root account to install it? That could explain why it was owned by root.

I just did a quick check on the package and the md5sums were fine. Also, did you add yourself to the 'games' group like that package suggested?
