Thew problem here is the script kick off the build command,
su -c 'pkgbuild ....'
When doing su when you are root, the environment values do not get carry
forward, hence the build script failed at this point. As the main page
of su says,
If the first argument to su is a dash (-), the environment
will be changed to what would be expected if the user actu-
ally logged in as the specified user. Otherwise, the
environment is passed along, with the exception of $PATH,
which is controlled by PATH and SUPATH in /etc/default/su.
So what Rafael did is absolutely correct.
May be this is a feature for pkgtool that should be documented :)
