Package: makepkg
Version: 6.0.2-6+b1
Severity: important
Dear Ben,
if PACMAC environment variable is not set, 'makepkg' depends on 'pacman'
being available in PATH, but it does neither depend nor recommend
installation of 'pacman-package-manager'. Installing 'makepkg' w/o
'pacman-package-manager' in a clean Debian system results in:
$ makepkg
==> ERROR: An unknown error has occurred. Exiting...
User defined signal 1
[exit code 138]
After installing pacman-package-manager, it renders a more useful error
message:
$ makepkg
==> ERROR: PKGBUILD does not exist.
[exit code 12]
Could you please consider adding a dependency or at least a recommendation for
'pacman-package-manager' to 'makepkg'?
(If 'makepkg' would catch a missing $PACMAN binary and show a proper
error message would also be a nice extension.)
Kind regards,
Nicolas
