makepkg tries to use local copy when there is none

Hi all. Cooked up this PKGBUILD but makepkg tries to use the local copy which does not exist. wget gets the file ok. What keeps appearing in src/ is a 0 byte file with the proper name .Maybe someone can tell what's wrong with this.

# Contributor: tranquility <trankas@gmail.com>

pkgname=timer-applet
pkgver=0.6
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A countdown timer applet for the GNOME panel."
url="http://timerapplet.sourceforge.net/"
depends=('gtk2>=2.4' 'gnome-common>=2.6.0')
groups=()
source=(http://dl.sourceforge.net/timerapplet/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
md5sums=('f737944f503bcd266528484c928c9b27')
build() {
  cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver
  ./configure --prefix=/opt/gnome
  make || return 1
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
}

Thanks.

Sounds like the source if faulty to me.  Make sure you have not copies of the source anywhere on your drive then try building again if that does not work then I would say contact the project developers because their source or mirrors bad

Actually the source is ok, when wget is able to download it. Sometimes it gets a nice 404 Maybe that's what is causing the error. If I download the source with wget, and run makepkg, it works fine.

you could try and clear your cache if you have built the same version before,

€ rm /var/cache/pacman/src/*
€ rm -r ./src/*
