trying to install this from the AUR and I'm getting an error that I can't really figure out...here's the console output:

==> Making package: epic-asset-manager 3.8.6-1 (Wed 26 Mar 2025 10:14:20 AM EDT)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...

everything I've googled says RTFM, but there's no information in this particular error...the prepare block doesn't do much at all...Any ideas?
#

what does this even do? prepare() { cd "$srcdir" [[ -d build ]] && rm -rf build }

I much prefer to solve the actual problem with the package on aur...seems like it's a problem with the pkg that needs to be addressed?

#

can I remove the prepare function from the pkgbuild?

#

cd "$srcdir" are unnecesssary

That worked! I've posted a comment on the package page. Marking solved. Thanks for the help!
