Pamac cli and pamac GUI no longer builds AUR packages

Support AUR
1

Since the today’s update, Pamac (both cli and gui) is no longer able to build AUR packages.

Pamac has been updated from 10.5.1-2 to 11.0.1-2; libpamac from 11.5.4-1 to 11.5.5-2.

The described issue occurs with any AUR package. E.g:

pamac build qimgv-git
Preparing...
Cloning qimgv-git build files...
Generating qimgv-git information...
Checking qimgv-git dependencies...
cp: cannot create regular file '/var/tmp/pamac/dbs/sync/pamac_aur.db': Permission denied
Error: Failed to prepare transaction: target not found: qimgv-git

I tried to delete /var/tmp/pamac/dbs/sync/pamac_aur.db but the error won’t go away.

EDIT: the file /var/tmp/pamac/dbs/sync/pamac_aur.db doesn’t exists at all.

No problems, instead, if I use yay to build AUR packages: no error occurs.

Probably this commit broke pamac.

Until it’s fixed, I would switch to a functioning AUR helper (yay or paru).

yes : no permission for create it, this directory is for root only :sob:

used sudo ? it’s bad.

for test, you can remove this directory sudo rm -rf /var/tmp/pamac
