Should be cd "$buildroot" || exit 1 just after the cower makepkg, still inside the if statement (could be after as well I guess). cd .. just before git clone will take you to /tmp on arm builds.

The issue should be fixed.

I had the error /bin/sh: pod2man: command not found. Executing the script with $ bash -l then worked.
It seems that the path variable is reset at some point. See here for a similar fix.

Strange. I fixed it accordingly; since I use debian now I cannot test it. So, I hope nothing else breaks. :D

@rumpelsepp Gave this a go today and it's working just fine 👍

I think sudo pacman -S cower also should have the flags --needed --noconfirm
