Thank you Jan, Did the ability to use the $CHROOT/root/repo as a CHROOT repository change? I am updating the PKGBUILDs for TDE and rebuilding it, and my earlier method of placing dependency packages in $CHROOT/root/repo, updating $CHROOT/root/etc/pacman.conf with: [local] Server = file:///repo Creating the index with: repo-add local.db.tar.gz *.xz Then building the first package with a stub PKGBUILD containing: <snip> depends=('apetag-git' 'libkarma' 'libnjb' 'libutempter' 'mt-daapd' 'musepack-tools-svn' 'tde-tqt3' 'wv2' 'xmedcon') no longer works. Attempting to build the stub package to install the dependencies, with 'sudo makechrootpkg -c -r $CHROOT' I get: 20:31 phoinix:/dat_f/tde/stub> sudo makechrootpkg -r $CHROOT ==> Making package: tde-stub 0.1-1 (Thu Jan 16 20:31:13 CST 2014) ==> WARNING: Using a PKGBUILD without a package() function is deprecated. ==> Retrieving sources... ==> Making package: tde-stub 0.1-1 (Thu Jan 16 20:31:13 CST 2014) ==> WARNING: Using a PKGBUILD without a package() function is deprecated. ==> Checking runtime dependencies... warning: database file for 'local' does not exist ==> Installing missing dependencies... warning: database file for 'local' does not exist error: target not found: apetag-git error: target not found: libkarma error: target not found: libnjb error: target not found: mt-daapd error: target not found: musepack-tools-svn error: target not found: tde-tqt3 error: target not found: wv2 error: target not found: xmedcon ==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies. ==> ERROR: Build failed, check /dat_e/ch14/david/build The error at issue is: warning: database file for 'local' does not exist, however, I have never seen that before.
