Package from AUR failed to install after doing many steps, how to rm?

How can I see what files have been left on my hard drive after a package failed to install. I can't pacman -Rsu the package because it didnt install, but now i got some other packages that i don't need then. and probably some other stuff while the package was being extracted..
How can i prevent from leaving a messy trail?

Yeah gen2ly, i was using yaourt to get a package from AUR.
I was able to uninstall the extra packages that were uninstalled, but is it possible that when the PKGBUILD failed that it left some random files somewhere? That's what I trully want to know. The other dependancies i have already removed.
Hey thanks for the info on unzip, Runiq! unzip works miracles!!!! I installed it, and now the front end "File Roller" AKA "Archive Manager" in Gnome can suddenly handle .zip files! It's awesome! no need for p7zip or xarchiver.
Every newbie or windows transferee should know about it!
But anyways, is it possible the failed PKGBUILD left files somewhere?

[SOLVED] Building VCS packages from AUR fails

Hello,
Whenever I try to build a git or svn package from AUR, build fails with the error in a clean chroot enviroment:
==> ERROR: Unknown download protocol: svn
Aborting...
When the build starts, makepkg actually downloads source files properly. Any clues?

Trilby wrote:How many packages has this happened with? Can you give an example of one that produces this error? If the download proceeds when the build starts, it sounds like the PKGBUILD is outdated and is manually grabbing the source in the build function (in pacman<4.0 style).
I was building https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/uefi-shell-svn: a popular and up-to-date PKGBUILD.
Indeed I didn't merge the conf files of clean chroot. There was a makepkg.conf.pacnew, the lacking part in my old makepkg.conf was:
VCSCLIENTS=('bzr::bzr'
'git::git'
'hg::mercurial'
'svn::subversion')
and some small changes. Everything works fine now. Was my bad. Sorry for incovenience and thanks for your help.

[yaourt] update only packages from aur

I just switched from my own aur_update script to yaourt, because it handles dependencies.. But how to only update packages from aur?

If not, you can try bauerbill which does (or at least should) recognize the "--needed" flag.
That just tries to reinstall (and rebuild as we are talking about AUR) all the AUR packages that are installed. Even the ones that doesn't need any updates.

Obviously it doesn't. You're welcome to try bauerbill, which should do what you want using the code above.

Virtual memory exhausted when compiling packages from AUR

Recently I've seen this error more and more often. When I tried compiling some packages from AUR, I ended up getting "virtual memory exhausted" error. The first time it happened with clementine-git, then android-studio. Can I do something about it?

I am also facing the same problem. I am trying to install a package, and the installations aborts saying 'virtual memory exhausted'. The RAM is 2 GB and i have alloted 2 GB as swap. Things i have tried so far
-install using yaourt
-install using makepkg.
-change TMPDIR to HDD.
Even when i tried it without any window manager to start, limiting the RAM usage, the problem still persists. The only way is to allot an extra swap space, but that would mean that i will have to delete a partition, which is not a feasible solution. Is there anything else one could do. ?

My book from iPhoto failed (error box) after 2h. 25m. download process

My book from iPhoto failed (error box) after 2h. 25m. download process.
I'm afraid to start the download process again without knowing why it had an error the first time.
What should I do?

Thank for the information
Unfortunately, even if I delete iPhoto 1.1.1 from my hard rive I still receive the same error when I attempt to install 2.0, You cannot continue. There is nothing to install.
I did notice that the installation dialogue seems to be correct with the exception that I am not prompted to type in an administrative password (although I am currently logged in as an administrator).
Is there something I am missing?

I venture to say you have a Windows PC.
If so, before beginning the download try temporarily disabling your antivirus, anti-adware, anti-spyware, and any other anti-whatever that is required with the insecure OS your computer is running.

If version 4 is an upgrade only, you will have to have the serial number of the 3.5 full version.

Error installing package from AUR. /usr/lib64 exists in filesystem

I installed the package zoneminder-xinetd 1.27.0-1 using the instruction on the wiki, the installation finished successfully. then I realized that the package was outdated, so I uninstalled it using "sudo pacman -R zoneminder-xinetd", manually edit the files .AURINFO and PKGBUILD to get the new version, compiled successfully using 'makepkg -s' but when I'm try to install it(sudo pacman -U zoneminder-xinetd-1.28.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz) I got this error:
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
zoneminder-xinetd: /usr/lib64 exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
I also tried to install this other package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/zoneminder after removing some unwanted dependencies but i get the same error.

Allan's blog has a good description (see the section "Directory Symlink Handling") http://allanmcrae.com/2014/12/pacman-4-2-released/. I suggest you inform the maintainers of those packages so that they may update the PKGBUILDs.
Thanks for the quick answer.
I solved this issue by adding "-DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=/lib" to the cmake in the PKGBUILD. The mantainer of the zoneminder package solved this already by adding "-DZM_PERL_SUBPREFIX=/lib/perl5 \".
Also, I adopted the zoneminder-xinetd package .

[SOLVED] Unable to build packages from AUR (build: command not found)

I recently hosed the filesystem on my arch install of ~8 months. I reinstalled arch today and didn't have many problems since I had backups of many important config files. Anyways, I still need to get a few programs installed from AUR, but nothing I get from AUR will build.
I download the tarball, extract into a folder in /home/myuser/builds and then go into that folder and run makepkg -s (as always)
It checks the files and extracts/downloads them. Then I get the following error message:
==> Starting build()...
/usr/bin/makepkg: line 741: build: command not found
==> ERROR: Build Failed.
Aborting...
I've run abs and I checked out the abs wiki page, I've also installed base-devel. I am not sure what else I need to do, the error message is not specific enough.
The packages I have been trying to install are ttf-ms-fonts 2.0-7, keepass 2.14-2, and I also tried ttf-vista-fonts 1-3. I am fairly certain that it is not a problem with the PKGBUILD files.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Nope, haven't tried that, I think mainly because I wanted to learn how to use pacman and how to build using ABS. At this point I think I know how to use pacman/abs, as much as this thread might make it appear that I dont
I'll give it a try, as I frequently install software from AUR. In the past I think I let software from the AUR get outdated, Yaourt (clumsy name) sounds like it would help that a bit. Thanks!
Edit: BTW, I really love Arch. I tried it out on a flash drive about 8 months ago (maybe more), and after about 12 hours I was sold and installed it on the drive that Windows XP previously held. Even considering that I had many problems during the initial install, but they were all problems that caused me to learn and were easy to resolve. Seriously, I have lots of Windows tech experience, but only Arch forced me to learn Linux. I had tried Ubuntu previously but it was such a bore, and the problems tended to be hard to find solutions for. I try to convince my other Linux using friends to try arch, but they see it as too hands-on. I don't see it that way, it is very hands off after initial configuration, and the initial config only takes a week or less on the first try and a day and a half (or so) if you re-install. Having backups of your config files is of course a huge deal, and I am glad I had most of those.
Really, I love Arch Linux, it has taught me so much.
