Did you set a custom PKGDEST? What’s the output of:

cat /etc/makepkg.conf | grep PKGDEST

[keepitsimpleengineer]

[kise-005 ~]# cat /etc/makepkg.conf | grep PKGDEST
#PKGDEST=/home/packages
#SRCPKGDEST=/home/srcpackages

[Yochanan]

Perhaps the database needs a refresh:

sudo pacman -Syu

Then try installing Chrome again.

@Yochanan

sudo pacman -Syu

So I pretended manjaro was archlinux and did a manual AUR install, and failed…

Forgive my ignorance, but if the PKGBUILD is extracting the necessary files from the debian binary, why is it looking for:

@keepitsimpleengineer

google-chrome/google-chrome-88.0.4324.182-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Clean Pamac AUR cache from settings, then force (from the MENU) a database update, and try again (maybe restart Pamac after each step). It helped me in the past.

[keepitsimpleengineer]

Tried them all as you suggested, still no love.

@NGr

why is it looking for:

@keepitsimpleengineer

google-chrome/google-chrome-88.0.4324.182-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

That’s the package that was created, but it failed to install it. All packages have the pkg.tar.zst extension.

@realmain

Maybe… try sudo pacman -Syy instead?

If it’s a database error, pacman -Fy might even work.

[omano]

For the sake of it, I tried to install it from Pamac and it worked properly.

So it is definitely not an issue from the AUR. Not sure where to look for your issue.

[carverj]

I haven’t personally dealt with this, but found a post that I could offer up to try!:

pacman -U --dbonly 'path-to-google-chrome-88.0.4324.182-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst'

See: [SOLVED] Reinstall corrupted package / Pacman & Package Upgrade Issues / Arch Linux Forums

[omano]

His problem is that it doesn’t even create this package apparently.

[carverj]

So presumably your permissions are OK where you are building! According to the arch wiki you should make sure ‘base-devel’ is installed correctly. You can also try from a snapshot if it isn’t building for you. Also, there is a google-chrome-beta in the AUR you could try
See:-
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Acquire_build_files
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/snapshot/google-chrome.tar.gz
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/google-chrome-beta/

I have two other manjaro systems, one of which has google-chrome-stable installed and the other I just installed it successfully as a test.
