The archive couldn't be extracted, which probably means it was corrupt. I just rebuilt the package here without needing to modify the PKGBUILD.

I get: ==> Making package: b43-firmware 5.100.138-2 (Fri 13 Jul 21:37:42 BST 2012) ==> Checking runtime dependencies... ==> Checking buildtime dependencies... ==> Retrieving Sources... -> Found broadcom-wl-5.100.138.tar.bz2 ==> Validating source files with sha1sums... broadcom-wl-5.100.138.tar.bz2 ...

Eventually installed using slightly modified line from PKGBUILD: b43-fwcutter -w ""${pkgdir}"/usr/lib/firmware/" broadcom-wl-5.100.138/linux/wl_apsta.o as root. Works okay but package database is not accurate now.

Thanks for the notification; I've modified the PKGBUILD.

@Xavion: there should be no need to add "b43" to the MODULES array (at least not on recent kernels). I suggest removing the message.

Please change the install location from /lib/firmware to /usr/lib/firmware as Arch is in the process of moving /lib into /usr Thanks!

Will do. thanks.

Xavion commented on 2012-02-26 22:31 (UTC)

That means you might have problems building future architecture-specific packages. In the event that this happens, you might need to reopen that 'pacman' bug report.

thanks. But, mine were already enabled. ######################################################################### # ARCHITECTURE, COMPILE FLAGS ######################################################################### # CARCH="x86_64" CHOST="x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu" Happy to be back on wireless :-)

Be sure to fix your "/etc/makepkg.conf" file as noted below. I've modified the 'arch' array in the PKGBUILD as requested.
