Hi,
This problem is somewhat related to the terminal color problem so I
apologize if it's already taken care by these patches.
I use rxvt-unicode as my terminal. Since pacman 3.4, when building
packages with makechrootpkg, makepkg aborts with the following error:
tput: unknown terminal "rxvt-unicode"
This happens because I use a clean chroot in which rxvt-unicode isn't
installed so the terminal definition file
/usr/share/terminfo/r/rxvt-unicode isn't present. As a workaround, I
added a 'TERM=xterm' in the wrapper script I use.
It would be nice if, instead of aborting on unknown terminals, makepkg
would fallback to the dumb terminal. The dumb terminal currently
doesn's work as I believe it doesn't support colors. This change along
with the color patch would make makpkg more robust when handling
different and unusual terminals.
Personnally, I will keep my workaround as I like color. ;)

I tested Nezmer's patch and it fix this problem. However, the error
message is still printed for each call to tput (maybe it should be
sent to /dev/null) but makepkg doen't abort anymore.
What error is printed?
The one mentionned in my first post:
tput: unknown terminal "rxvt-unicode"
Output is always helpful. You don't see any
errors at all with stock makepkg, it just aborts.

$ makepkg

Yes, you do. As I wrote in my first post, to get the tput error, you
need to build a package in a clean chroot with a terminal whose
terminfo file isn't provided by ncurses like rxvt-unicode. Output
below:
Stock makepkg:
$ echo $TERM
rxvt-unicode
$ sudo makechrootpkg -c -r /mnt/current64 -l copy_1 -- --noconfirm --holdver
creating clean working copy...done
grep: /home/eric/.makepkg.conf: No such file or directory
grep: /home/eric/.makepkg.conf: No such file or directory
tput: unknown terminal "rxvt-unicode"
<snip>
I'd almost put this down as a configuration error (wrong TERM
exported...) but how about we do something like this to fix both issues
we are having here:
if [[ -t 2 && ! $USE_COLOR = "n" && $(check_buildenv color) = "y" ]]; then
# prefer tput for setting font sytle on systems where it is supported
if tput setaf 0 &>/dev/null; then
[set colour/bold the tput way]
else
[set colour/bold the old fashioned way]
