Please create the following directory, try again and also report back if that fixes your problem you've might found a bug in their build script:

/home/tepiloxtl/.cache/yay/unknown-horizons-git/src/python/.config

I'm actually a bit confused I'm not running into this error in a clean chroot build. The folder doesn't exist there either.

Edit: Are you sure you're on the latest commit? The line in question got fixed 7 months ago and differs from your quoted error message.

Im unable to build this package right now with error in build:

==> Starting build()...

(This has been run manually after yay failed to build this package too)

Here is a modified PKGBUILD:

}

The current version (2019.1) doesn't get displayed in the version string because the actual tag is in a separate branch. This is the -git version and builds from the master branch which latest tag is sadly 2017.2 but it's actually several commits in front of the 2019.1 tag. So this package is not outdated, pbnoxious.

If you know how I can get the latest tag over multiple branches with a matching filter let me know.

As opposed to…? All I'm aware of is UH installing a symlink to that exact launcher under a name that's easier to memorize.

If something is expected to be placed elsewhere during setup process I'd assume the best course of action is asking about a change in that process upstream – the package simply trusts those definitions are correct and executes them. But I didn't understand the expected behavior from your comment just yet, so you might have to clarify a bit: What would you like to happen but didn't?

This package does not install the run_uh.py script.

Works without any problems.

And migrated back to fife-git after the segfaults look like they've been fixed.

Thanks! Updated to fife in lieu of fife-git for stability concerns mentioned before.

please update dependency list according to the request [1]:

fife-svn -> fife-git
