@hobarrera I'm getting the same error as @dougv. I brought it up on pacaur's issue tracker, and here's what the author said [1]:
> Please follow proper VCS guidelines. If the issue still happens, open a new bug report.
Can you please take a look and see whether we're properly following the AUR guidelines for VCS packages?
Thanks.

hi. getting an error when installing with pacaur:
[CODE] mba6x_bl-dkms package(s) failed to install. Check .SRCINFO for mismatching data with PKGBUILD. [/CODE]
googling has not helped me fix this up. any tips?
thanks in advance

Sorry, looks like I'd never pushed my latest local changes. Current PKGUILD should work fine.

I just tried what @realwaysdi suggested and everything seems to be working perfectly for me. I have an early 2014 MBA running kernel version 4.5.1-1

I solve this problem for my MacBook Air.
Edit the PKGBUILD:
depends=('dkms' 'linux-headers')
Enjoy

@ericgroom: Yes, you should be able to boot via an USB drive or something and chroot.
Here's the exact upstream issue with details:

Basically, I couldn't get brightness over 0%, but there are suggested workarounds.

I'm not super familiar with dkms. If it did break my system, would I be able to chroot in and uninstall the package?

Kernel >= 4.4 support seem broken. There's an upstream issue for that. You can edit the PKGBUILD if you want to try it anyway, but it MAY break your system.

I am on 4.4.5-1-ARCH and upon attempting to install I get the error, "error: target not found: linux<4.4"

After the latest kernel update, it works fine again on my laptop(early 2015 11" MBA).
$uname -r
4.4.5-1-ARCH
