How to fix 'failure occurred in build ()' error when running makepkg -si?

To answer the question - you need to fix the error whether that is buildscript or source.

Another option is to contact the maintainer of the script (use the AUR page for the script)

All systems has pamac installed - but if you need yay, then it is in the repo

sudo pacman -Syu yay

Please inform yourself, see → [Need-To-Know] About Manjaro and AUR - and be sure to switch to unstable for best results with AUR.

sudo pacman-mirrors --api --set-branch --unstable 
sudo pacman -Syu
