[Solved] Makepkg aborting after last pacman update

Question

Hi all,
firing makepkg yields:
$ makepkg
==> ERROR: An unknown error has occurred. Exiting...
And therefore this happens also when I try building packages of the AUR with yaourt.
The problem showed up with last pacman update.
What I am I doing wrong?
Thanks for you patience,
Davide
