The latest installwatch installation seems not to like the Arch packaging process. The PREFIX variable at the top of the script is set to /var/abs/..../usr rather than /usr.
This task depends upon

installwatch is not only a dead project, (superceeded by checkinstall), but it doesn't really fit the arch scheme. I'm not sure why I've actually kept it around in the arch repos this long...
It will probably just be removed, as it's a tool made for hackery, and doesn't fit archlinux all that well.

Let me know if you still want to remove it. I'll add it to the list of removal candidates.

Yeah, please add it to the list - installwatch has no place on Arch.
