Description: makepkg fails because PKGBUILD includes obsolete 'force' option

It appears that the option can just be removed without concern for epoch (?) in this case.

I report such a minor problem because such errors in PKGBUILDs (also checksum errors are common) make me question if abs has the actual PKGBUILD that the packager used. How did the arch binary in the repositories get built if the distributed PKGBUILD has an obsolete option and doesn't work??


Additional info:
* package version(s)
libffi-3.0.10-1

* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
[BUILD]$ cp -a /var/abs/extra/libffi/ .
[BUILD]$ cd libffi/
[libffi]$ makepkg --install --noconfirm --log; sync
==> ERROR: options array contains unknown option 'force'
This task depends upon
