I noticed that the 'makepkg' command will fail if I try to run it more than once on the linux26 package. Here is the output of the second run:

I think that if the file already exists it should be overridden without an error message. The command actually already does this (extraction of linux source code worked), but in this situation (patch file) it causes a failure.
This task depends upon

The fix is to add '-f' to bunzip2 command. Also should update other decompressors that do not have 'force' flag set.
