Bad handling of packages with the '+' character in their name #421
Description
Bug details
Aura reports that the AUR package gimp-plugin-separate+ does not exist:
% pacman -A gimp-plugin-separate+
aura >>= The following are not AUR packages:
gimp-plugin-separate+I noticed that the + is url encoded in the AUR url so I tried entering the url encoded package name and it does then recognise it:
% pacman -A gimp-plugin-separate%2B
aura >>= Determining dependencies...
aura >>= AUR Packages:
gimp-plugin-separate%2B
aura >>= Continue? [Y/n] YBut unfortunately, the build immediately fails:
...
aura >>= Building `gimp-plugin-separate%2B`...
aura >>= Well, building `gimp-plugin-separate%2B` failed.
aura >>= Dumping makepkg output in 3.. 2.. 1..
aura >>= Failed to obtain build scripts for `gimp-plugin-separate%2B`.
aura >>= Would you like to continue anyway? [Y/n] n
aura >>= Building failed.Expected behaviour
% pacman -A gimp-plugin-separate+
aura >>= Determining dependencies...
aura >>= AUR Packages:
gimp-plugin-separate+
aura >>= Continue? [Y/n] YNotes
- I can't recall ever coming across another package with a
+in it before. Update: just had a look in the AUR and there's actually quite a few. - I haven't looked at the code but I guess it could be trying to hit the AUR with a double encoded package name which is causing it to fail.
- I was able to manually download the PKGBUILD, build & install fine
