Readers,
Tried to install xpdf, but failed as below. Looks that there is a
reference to create a directory 'mkdir -p /home/lee...' without
permission. Any suggestions please?

x 02-permissions.patch
x PKGBUILD
x desktop
x install
Also depends on the libpaper package.
Done
With my version of Pacman v4.2.1 - libalpm v9.0.1, the pkgbuild fails
with permission errors. Basically everything in build() needs moved to
package().
Here is my version that works (I think)but then there is an error with
the install file (not sure what to do) but at least it tries to work.

I can't reproduce. I will not move the content of build() inside
package(), it's against the guidelines and it is probably not the source
of this problem.
