For all: debianutils and systemd conflict.

See a fix at the AUR page for debianutils: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/debianutils#comment-1054438

If the package is outdated, please report it with the 'Flag outdated package' above.

If there is an issue regarding packaging, please report it here:

https://github.com/ItachiSan/linux_packaging/issues/

As I do not use this package (I use a Docker container for Debian packaging) please tell me whenever a dependency is missing, so that I can move it from a make dependency to a normal dependency.

@z3ntu sure thing, I am not really using the package, so when it is outdated just file a outdated package request

@ItachiSan: 2.17.5 is out, do you plan on updating?

ItachiSan commented on 2016-11-12 13:30 (UTC)

Oh, thank you @Alad for the catch! I thought I putted the tag resolution... Seems not. Updated the package to track the tag and made it architecture-independent ('any', as it seems that it contains only specific Perl scripts).

Alad commented on 2016-11-12 09:51 (UTC)

Note that when switching to git, you should also specify the tag, i.e. source=("$pkgname-$pkgver::git+https://anonscm.debian.org/git/collab-maint/devscripts.git#tag=$pkgver")

Thanks for suggestion Alad, I will add them with next update. My laptop is unusable, updates ASAP.

Some suggestions: - quote "$pkgdir" and "$srcdir" so the build doesn't fail in directories with spaces - "$srcdir" in cd "$srcdir"/... is redundant, as the build starts in that directory - consider using git and #tag=$pkgver so the build doesn't fail on upstream version bumps, as suggested/implemented in dpkg

Package updated, I found out why I wasn't detecting the error. Now everything should be fine.

@max-k / maintainer, I was wrong, yes /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/bts is provided already by bash-completion. If you do a new package revision (as I just did with my devscripts-git AUR package), the file will conflict. pacman -Rs bash-completion, will remove /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/bts, and add it back on reinstall. Installing an upgraded devscripts will cause this conflict: error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) devscripts-git: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/bts exists in filesystem
