Arch Linux User Repository

This is broken on arch at the moment - make install puts things into usr/sbin, which is a symlink to usr/bin, resulting in: error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) perp: /usr/sbin exists in filesystem Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded. I added "mv $pkgdir/usr/sbin $pkgdir/usr/bin" to the end of the package() function in the PKGBUILD, which seemed to do the trick.

If the depends is empty it should be removed. It is failing trying to find the dependency '' (empty).
