[SOLVED] Pacman 3.5.1 and install script problem.

tarakbumba · 2011-03-26 22:06:08

Hi, i'm currently maintaining dkms-nvidia package in AUR. After upgrading to pacman 3.5.1 install script doesn't work anymore. I have searched forum and some googled but i haven't got a clue. It was working with pacman 3.4.3 (i have skipped 3.5.0 release). Does something changed with 3.5.x release about install script handling? Here is the install script:

I have found the problem, i think. When i extracted my compiled dkms-nvidia package i get :

02:35 atilla@tarakbumba:~/DEPOM/Archlinux/Paketler/dkms-nvidia-270.30-3-x86_64.pkg$ ls -lah
toplam 24K
drwxr-xr-x 4 atilla users 4,0K Mar 30 02:35 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 atilla users 4,0K Mar 30 02:35 ..

-rw-r--r-- 1 atilla users 1,7K Mar 30 02:34 .PKGINFO
drwxr-xr-x 3 atilla users 4,0K Mar 30 02:34 usr

See the ".iNSTALL"? But when it comes to pacman package file is ".INSTALL". Also namcap throws a warning:

See "dkms-nvidia W: File (.iNSTALL) exists in a non-standard directory." ?
My older packges also have ".iNSTALL" but pacman-3.4.3 was taking care of it. Now it ignores install scriplets like these. It is either a makepkg bug or pacman bug. Any help or should i open a bug report?

UPDATE: Below command works when building package:

export LANG=en && makepkg

Created package have ".INSTALL" file and pacman runs scriptlet as expected. I'm reporting this.

Nice catch. This is a locale issue. Definitely related to changes made between 3.4 and 3.5.

$ echo 'install' | LANG=tr_TR tr [:lower:] [:upper:]
STALL

Please open a bug for this on flyspray.

Bug reported: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/23510

Edit: According to bug report responses, this is a makepkg bug and only affects turkish locale. Arch devs committed patches to fix this issue and this bug fixed for pacman 3.5.2 release. Assumed it is fixed. I' ll change topic to solved. Thanks.
