Cp: cannot create regular file '/var/tmp/pamac/dbs/sync/pamac_aur.db': Permission denied

[Jazz]

I just encountered the following issue when I ran pamac update -a:

$ ls -al /var/tmp/pamac/dbs/sync/pamac_aur.db
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 2560 Jul 24 23:41 /var/tmp/pamac/dbs/sync/pamac_aur.db

$ pamac update -a

cp: cannot create regular file '/var/tmp/pamac/dbs/sync/pamac_aur.db': Permission denied
Error: Failed to prepare transaction: target not found: android-platform

Edit build files : [e] 
Apply transaction ? [e/y/N]

The issue repeats for every single AUR package.
Should I just manually change the ownership of the pamac_aur.db file, or is this a bug?

@Jazz

Should I just manually change the ownership of the pamac_aur.db file, or is this a bug?

Probably. You should own /var/tmp/pamac and everything under.

in my system the path and permissions are different…

ls -l /var/tmp/pamac/pamac_aur.db
-rw-r--r-- 1 xavier xavier 2560 jul 20 11:30 /var/tmp/pamac/pamac_aur.db

pamac upgrade --aur

Cita ```
pamac update -a

> Cita ```
cp: cannot create regular file '/var/tmp/pamac/dbs/sync/pamac_aur.db': Permission denied
Error: Failed to prepare transaction: target not found: android-platfor

what I wanted to tell you was:
Don’t you have a file “pamac_aur.db” in the above path? why create another one…android platform?..what is this for? i don’t have knowledge to help either…

Yes,.permissions (of files) are 644 and not 666, forgot to mention that.

[Jazz]

Is everything under your /var/tmp/pamac according to 755/644 rule? Just noticed that my /var/tmp/pamac and /var/tmp/pamac/dbs/sync are 777.

[zbe]

Yes, that’s fine. Folders are 777 for whatever reason.
