@arielp. Used your suggestion to shorten the version number. Thanks.

@Nothing4You

This line: `sed -i 's/src doc tests/src tests/' Makefile.am` causes the documentation (info files) to not be made. So when pacman uses the .install to try to install those info files, it fails.

That verstring is crazy long. Consider something like this?

git describe | sed 's|libassuan-||;s|-|+|;s|-|_|'

Thanks @Nothing4You for the heavy cleanup.

Still, I don't understand the content of the .install because pkg/usr/share/info doesn't get created while building?

Cleaned up and updated PKGBUILD to use pacmans builtin git feature.

changed the PKGBUILD like this to avoid building the doc stuff

It seems to be caused by libassuan-git's gpl.texi file.
makeinfo returns these errors when processing their file ; but the original gpl.texi file, available at http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.texi works fine.
Maybe gnu.org updated their file and libassuan didn't ?
Similarly, the lgpl.texi file differs from that from gnu.org, and here again the gnu.org version works fine.

However, assuan.texi refers to external nodes ('Library Copying' and 'Copying') present in the assuan version of gpl.texi and/or lgpl.texi, so blindly copying the gnu.org version over does not work.
These nodes are actually just one line at the beginning of assuan version of gpl.texi and lgpl.texi. I copied them to the gnu.org versions, and this time the compilation succeeded.

I think this deserves an upstream update to use newer gpl.texi and lgpl.texi, and an accordingly updated assuan.texi.

In the meantime, a patch would be to download (or attach as source) the gnu.org versions of both gpl.texi and lgpl.texi, then prepend at the beginning of gpl.texi the line '@node Copying', and at the beginning of lgpl.texi the line '@node Library Copying'. Then, move these files to the '$srcdir/$_gitname-build/doc' directory.
Another solution would be to not build documentation, but I did not find that option in the configure script.

Tried the proposed fix but still fails:
