Arch Linux User Repository

I've ran into the same problem as previously TomasG did too:
{
-> Extracting openmotif-2.3.4-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz with bsdtar
usr/include/Xm/: Failed to set file flags
usr/share/man/man3/: Failed to set file flags
bsdtar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.
==> ERROR: Failed to extract openmotif-2.3.4-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz
Aborting...
}

Workaround: downloading PKGBUILD and running 'makepkg PKGBUILD', + "pacman -U lib32-openmotif-2.3.4-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz" fixes the issue.

Don't know what exactly causes these errors.

Excellent - works a treat - Thanks very much

Package adopted and updated to the latest version 2.3.4-2
Removed the build function
Added missing lib32 dependencies

the package needs to be updated.
please change the PKGBUILD as follows:
pkgrel=2
pkgrel32=2
source=("ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/community/os/i686/${pkgname32}-${pkgver}-${pkgrel32}-i686.pkg.tar.xz")
md5sums=('52d3c3c12d5e5fd038251878097cd8ca')

package()
{
install -d "${pkgdir}"/usr/lib32
cp -Rp "${srcdir}"/usr/lib/* "${pkgdir}"/usr/lib32
}

The build() function needs to be removed at all

new release is openmotif-2.3.4-2-i686.pkg.tar.xz (from '1' to '2' before -i686)

open the PKGBUILD file and change 'pkgrel' and 'pkgrel32' values to:

pkgrel=2
pkgrel32=2

also, update 'md5sums' value to:

md5sums=('52d3c3c12d5e5fd038251878097cd8ca')

404'd :(

Remove the build() from PKGBUILD

Change the package() to the following:

package()
{
install -d "${pkgdir}"/usr/lib32
cp -dpr --no-preserve=ownership "${srcdir}"/usr/lib/* "${pkgdir}"/usr/lib32
}

HAve the following error when I run makepkg as a simple user, cause the dir pkg have made with the rights (ie 0000 )

...

Try to find where the pkg directory is created, to correct the error but without success. Finaly I've bypass the error by running makepkg as root:
# makepkg --asroot
==> Making package: lib32-openmotif 2.3.4-1 (Sat Apr 13 15:15:05 CEST 2013)
....
==> Starting build()...
==> Starting package()...
...
==> Finished making: lib32-openmotif 2.3.4-1 (Sat Apr 13 15:15:15 CEST 2013)

I know its bad to run makepkg as root.

Could it be that the source file is corrupted? trying to run makepkg or even trying to extract it with bsdtar results in errors.

-> Extracting openmotif-2.3.4-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz with bsdtar

$ bsdtar -xvzf openmotif-2.3.4-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz

I am desperately looking for this package in version 2.2.3. Can anyone please provide it? It's needed because it includes libXm.so.3 which is a hard requirement for a software that I am using. Thank you!
