==> ERROR: BUILDSCRIPT is undefined! Ensure you have updated...

I updated to the latest Pacman in testing, and when I tried to use makepkg, I got this:

==> ERROR: BUILDSCRIPT is undefined! Ensure you have updated /etc/makepkg.conf.
However, I have already checked and modified the configuration, look:

#
# /etc/makepkg.conf

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

/etc/makepkg.conf.new is where the action is... you should probably just mv it to makepkg.conf and reapply your PKGDEST/PACKAGER/etc. modifications.

That looks like a makepkg.conf file for the previous version of pacman, or at least it doesn't have everything that the current version of makepkg.conf should have.  Have a look at /etc/makepkg.conf.pacnew --> this is where pacman installed the new version of pacman.conf file.

Reinstall pacman.

unfortunately, /etc/makepkg.conf is still the same after reinstalling pacman.

But there should be a /etc/makepkg.conf.pacnew as well, if your makepkg.conf is different than the default one that's provided by the package.

no, after reinstaling there's no /etc/makepkg.conf.pacnew, and the /etc/makepkg.conf is the old one.

If pacman didn't install a *.pacnew version of the config file that means that your makepkg.conf is up to date or, in either case, the same as the default one installed by the package.

Here is the default makepkg.conf file for reference: http://rafb.net/p/5h2PWp94.html

Re: ==> ERROR: BUILDSCRIPT is undefined! Ensure you have updated...

I just had the same problem. No pacnew file or anything. makepkg.conf was clearly an old version. Tried reinstalling pacman and no change. Removed file and reinstalled and it's now the new version. Is this a bug with pacman?
