Hi David, the "description" is probably a "description" in /var/lib/pacman/local/*/. I still had no time trying to fix the issue, hence I still get: 9 times "warning: rxvt: unknown key 'makepkgopt' in package description" and 9 times "warning: gtk2_prefs: unknown key 'makepkgopt' in package description" However, if it should be an entry or a missing entry in /var/lib/pacman/local/*/, then I don't know what entry it is. • rocketmouse@archlinux ~ $ strings /var/lib/pacman/local/gtk2_prefs-*/* | grep -i makepkgopt • rocketmouse@archlinux ~ $ echo $? 1 FWIW it seems to be unrelated to the issue, but I run diff /etc/pacman.conf /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew and diff /etc/makepkg.conf /etc/makepkg.conf.pacnew to find out that on my install /etc/pacman.conf is still good, but /etc/makepkg.conf does differ a lot.
