New comment by paper42 on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/27113#issuecomment-744730905 Comment: looking at the makefile, this seems to be the first issue I see... ``` chown 644 $(MANDIR)$(EXEC).$(MANSEC) ``` chown's first parameter is the username of the owner of the file, so it seems like the command should be `chmod`. The Makefile is exceptionally bad in this package, so I take my recommendation back. You can try to fix the makefile upstream or use the do_install function without build_style like you were using previously. I am sorry I recommended something wrong to you, but it seems to be the project's fault. Makefiles should never touch ~/.config nor should they try to change the owner of files.
