There is an AUR package that errors when I update it, and it has been like that for a while so I wondered if I could fix it myself?

The Package is here https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/filebrowser-bin

You can see my comment explaining the error under the username "mub".

How are you installing this package?

I download the PKGBUILD and run makepkg on it. In this case I would edit the PKGBUILD and run makepkg again.

Seems trivial, but I understand there's an error in the PKGBUILD that should be fixed on the AUR so others don't have to manually fix it, too.
