Darn Gmail, forgot to 'Reply all'. Text of what I said: No, the upgrade goes fine. The problem is with makechrootpkg's download_sources function. It, depending on if $SUDO_USER is set, either sudo's to $SUDO_USER and runs makepkg to check the sources or runs makepkg with --asroot. However, makeahpkg ALWAYS calls makechrootpkg, and in fact everything, through sudo. So when makechrootpkg reaches download_sources, $SUDO_USER is root, and makepkg is ran as root without --asroot. Oops. The easiest way to "fix" this would to do something like s/sudo // on makeahpkg, and run that version of makeahpkg via sudo.
