Whenever I try to build some packages as a normal user and
there are one or more spaces in the path I get the following
error from makepkg:
$ pwd /home/user/Arch Packages/mypkg $ makepkg ==> ERROR: Package destination directory does not exist or permission denied. If I rename "Arch Packages" to something like "Arch_Packages" then it works ! |

I'd recommend that you avoid directories with spaces in them. This may get fixed at some point, but it's not a priority now, as it only affects a few people. If you'd like, you can try and fix makepkg to play nice with spaces. If you do, please send me the patch.
