If you updated to gawk 5.4.0 before aurutils 20.5.8, you'll need to build the package manually (aur-build/makepkg) or append --no-graph to your aur-sync command.

I tried that fix and the problem remains:

% git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/aurutils.git
cd aurutils

Just to be sure, I manually installed the built package too:

% p -U /var/cache/pacman/aurto/aurutils-3.1.2-1-any.pkg.tar.zst

But still:

Anything else I can try?

I guess I haven't installed any new aur packages in a few aurutils releases, because it looks broken for me:

aur sync -c butt
==> Using [custom] repository
  -> butt: (none) -> 0.1.25-1
==> Retrieving package files
From https://aur.archlinux.org/butt
 = [up to date]      master     -> origin/master
Running aur chroot --create --pacman-conf /etc/aurutils/pacman-custom.conf
chroot: /etc/aurutils/pacman-custom.conf is not a file

The man page for aur chroot says the default for --pacman-conf is in /usr/share/devtools/pacman-extra.conf. Am I correct in assuming aur sync -c used to use the default? If so, seems like making a copy of /usr/share/devtools/pacman-extra.conf to /etc/aurutils/pacman-custom.conf is the fix. Apologies if I missed some instruction or communication regarding this.

That's an issue with your sudo configuration. You can either set NOPASSWD for pacman/devtools invocations (see man aur-build), or set the timeout to 0.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sudo#Disable_password_prompt_timeout

Also: if the timeout occurred after the build was completed, you can run "pacsync <your repo name>" to reflect the changes in pacman -S.

Please fix the long-standing issue of a sudo: timed out reading password leaving the package database in a state of disrepair.

AUR_LIB_DIR was not correctly subsituted in aurutils 3.1.1. The fix is in 3.1.2. To update:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/aurutils.git
cd aurutils
/usr/lib/aurutils/aur-build

Thanks, fixed in 3.0.3-2

3.0.3-1 build fails with: /startdir/PKGBUILD: line 29: cd: aurutils: No such file or directory The source subdir is versioned: aurutils-3.0.3

 build() {
-    cd aurutils
+    cd aurutils-$pkgver
     make
 }

 package() {
-    cd aurutils
+    cd aurutils-$pkgver
     make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install
 }

Alad commented on 2020-10-29 21:31 (UTC)

Added in 3.0.0-2

nirnakinho commented on 2020-10-29 17:37 (UTC)

The build fails because signify is missing. I guess signify should be added as a makedep.

Regards,

Makes perfect sense. Thank you!
