Arch Linux: Unable to install due to permissions for /usr/lib/...

Yep, my bad. I broke it with excessive "clean up of useless variables", according to the commit. Guess they weren't that useless. That's fixed now.

The issue here was that my PKGBUILD was putting files on the system directly instead of in the package building directory ($pkgdir).

I don't have any experience creating PKGBUILD files, so I don't know if using sudo here is the correct thing to do.

Nope, it isn't. makepkg should just make a package, not touch your system, so it doesn't need any root rights. Only pacman should run as root to install the package. In fact running makepkg as non-root is recommended practice to avoid broken PKGBUILDs (like mine) touching your system.

Adding sudo where you did probably means that files were created on your system by makepkg without being tracked by pacman database.

If the following files are present on your system:

/usr/lib/gnome-pass-search-provider/
/usr/lib/gnome-pass-search-provider/gnome-pass-search-provider.py
/usr/lib/systemd/user/org.gnome.Pass.SearchProvider.service
/usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Pass.SearchProvider.desktop
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.Pass.SearchProvider.service
/usr/share/gnome-shell/search-providers/org.gnome.Pass.SearchProvider.ini

You should check for pacman -Ql gnome-pass-search-provider-git and verify that they are listed here. If they aren't, remove them manually before upgrading to the fixed version.

Anyway thanks for the report. Can you confirm that it works now ?

Installs perfectly. Thank you and thanks for including that additional clean up information at the bottom too, it was very helpful.
