When building from AUR it is surprisingly common to not perform the builds in chroots or allow one's PATH to leak into the build environment. Turns out, if one has shellcheck installed form a snap, it could be picked up by the build and then trip over the sandbox. However, this highlights a separate issue, where running
make -C data
invokes an implicit default target indata/systemd
which then happens to run checks/tests. Those are normally reserved for (dist)check like targets and expected to be invoked explicitly. The branch introduces a separatecheck
target in top level Makefile underdata
which subsequently invokescheck
for the sole directly having an implementation.
