Summary and Info:

==> ERROR: pkgver is not allowed to contain colons, hyphens or whitespace.

Problem occurs with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/go/google-chrome-dev/PKGBUILD due to

pkgver=16.0.899.0 # Check for new Linux releases in: http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/search/label/Dev%20updates

Also

pkgver='16.0.899.0' # Check for new Linux releases in: http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/search/label/Dev%20updates

or

pkgver="16.0.899.0" # Check for new Linux releases in: http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/search/label/Dev%20updates

do not work (same error).

Is this the intended behaviour or a bug in makepkg?
This task depends upon

Move the comment to a different line. We're not going to kludge to fix an issue that has a dead-simple workaround.

My question is - Is this the SUPPOSED (NEW) BEHAVIOUR?

Then it's a pacman bug and you should report it to the actual pacman developers (while the thing is still a release candidate).

@Det:

makepkg from pacman 4.0.0 RC2.

@skodabenz, or you should just start using a better AUR tool (or at least notify the maintainer).

("pkgver='15.0.874.21' # Check [..]" should be enough anyway. It doesn't need to be separated into 2 different lines.)

ERROR: pkgver is not allowed to contain colons, hyphens or whitespace.

Should change

pkgver=15.0.874.21 # Check for new Linux releases in: http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/search/label/Dev%20updates

to

## Check for new Linux releases in: http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/search/label/Dev%20updates
pkgver="15.0.874.21"
