Hello! I've managed to fix package() issue. You'll need a patch, it resides here. Also you should modify PKGBUILD a bit, here is a diff:

Note that make check is actually not needed for that package. True pkgver for now is 1.6.2, not 1.6. I also sent this patch to the developer, so I hope in the nearest future he will fix his own version but for now you could employ my solution. Please also see the same proposed solution for glrpt package.
