Ah, I'm sorry, it's: ~/devel/pkgbuilds/mlocate/trunk/mlocate/ ~/devel/pkgbuilds/mlocate/trunk/mlocate/src/ rather than: ~/devel/pkgbuilds/mlocate/trunk/mlocate/ ~/devel/pkgbuilds/mlocate/trunk/mlocate/branches/ ~/devel/pkgbuilds/mlocate/trunk/mlocate/config ~/devel/pkgbuilds/mlocate/trunk/mlocate/...

Oh, you're right, ~/devel/pkgbuilds is a symlink to ~/.local/var/lib/pacman/pkgbuilds. Building mlocate in the "real" path works (or at least, it errors out a lot later due to a failing test). I now also notice that this is actually the case for all other packages in ~/devel/pkgbuilds that clone a git repo. > ... > > This does explain why it thinks you've got an invalid clone.

But `BUILDDIR="$(pwd -P)" makepkg` still fails (but to be honest, that's more me just trying random things I don't really understand, based on https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2018-June/022579.html ^^). But either way, thanks a lot for the support! (also, sorry for sort of hijacking the thread) Best, Tinu P.S. To confirm the original assumption: after modifying Makefile.am accordingly, package() fails here: ... chgrp locate "/home/ayekat/.local/var/lib/pacman/pkgbuilds/mlocate/trunk/pkg/mlocate/var/lib/mlocate" \ && chmod g=rx,o= "/home/ayekat/.local/var/lib/pacman/pkgbuilds/mlocate/trunk/pkg/mlocate/var/lib/mlocate" chgrp: invalid group: ‘locate’ make[2]: *** [Makefile:1455: install-exec-local] Error 1 ... So I second Eli's suggestion to report this upstream as a bug.
