Revert "makechrootpkg: with -n, check if the package failed to install"
This reverts commit be44b9cde15f3228839253c0c0d7d56c124c4e26.
This was a nice idea in theory, because it means that we can catch
conflicting files before releasing them into the repos. In practice,
there were unanticipated side effects: single-package installs which
conflict against their own makedepends cannot be installed either.
Examples include:
- kernel modules which makedepend on their dkms equivalent
- jack2, which makedepends/optdepends on portaudio, which requires
jack... but jack2 is a drop-in provides/conflicts jack.
We cannot reliably detect when makepkg --install will error out because
of dependency conflicts vs. packages which are simply broken. So, back
out this change for now.
Revisit this once pacutils has a new release, because it will add the
option --resolve-conflicts=all, allowing for much better scripted
responses to "foo conflicts with bar, remove bar? [y/N]" than simply
"--noconfirm and fail".
