Check that the “foo” package PKGBUILD has “x86_64” in it’s arch=() array.

PS: I can’t find a foo package in the AUR, so I assume you have replaced the real pkgname with foo in this example.

how ? Do I do that

thanks

4

Open the PKGBUILD file in a text editor.

5 
pkgver=1.0.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Test package"
arch=('all')
licence=('GPL')

build() {
	cd .
}

package() {
	cd .
}
6

Change arch=('all') to arch=('any') and it should work.

A Fast Question 

So I don't need to do these last 2 commands any more correct ?

makepkg -i  and   makepkg -is

makepkg -si does what makepkg -i does, so you only need to do the -si one.
But no, you don’t need to do that, when you did pacman -U.

When you build the package again with makepkg, you can simply do makepkg -si and it will build and install the package and it’s dependencies. So you don’t need the pacman -U command.

You can also use pamac build command with no argument to build and install from the PKGBUILD in the current directory. It automatically check for base-devel packages and other dependencies needed.
