[SOLVED] jruby upgrade fails: /dev/fd error

Question

Hi, when I try to upgrade jruby (pacaur -y jruby) I get the following error:
/dev/fd/63: line 18: syntax error: unexpected end of file
AUR Targets  (1): jruby
Proceed with installation? [Y/n]
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
jruby: /opt/jruby/lib/ruby/gems/shared/cache/rake-10.0.3.gem exists in filesystem # a bunch of these for various files
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
==> WARNING: Failed to install built package(s).
:: jruby cleaned
I ran pacman -Sc to clean out old packages, since the / filesystem was 97% full.  Still got the same error.
as root, ls -l /dev/fd/* gives:
ls: cannot access /dev/fd/255: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access /dev/fd/3: No such file or directory
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 23 13:42 /dev/fd/0 -> /dev/pts/3

lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 23 13:42 /dev/fd/2 -> /dev/pts/3
Any idea what's going on here?

This looks like a pacaur bug, due to the weird looking PKGBUILD. I guess the pacaur maintainer will have a look at it as soon as possible.
In the meantime, use makepkg (pacaur -de jruby && cd /tmp/pacaur-blabla/jruby && makepkg -si)
Edit: pacaur-git should now be working as expected.
