Cannot upgrade from AUR because of git: no tracking information for the current branch

[moshpirit]

Thanks for keep replying! I’m not sure that I’m getting this right, sorry for the inconvenience

I already installed the latest version through AUR, but it keeps appearing as a new version available, and Anki shows that I’m using the previous version. What am I missing? why does AUR and Anki think that I keep using the previous version instead of the new one?

After building it with chrootbuild, did you actually install the package with pacman? Doesn’t sound like it.

sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/anki-2.1.54-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

OK, I found the error: chrootbuild downloaded it to ~ instead of /var/cache/pacman/pkg/, this is why it couldn’t find the file.

Thanks for all your work and support!

chrootbuild downloaded it to ~ instead of /var/cache/pacman/pkg/

Do you have a custom PKGDEST set in /etc/makepkg.conf?

I don’t think so, it says:
