reading “Build Files Exist” seems to suggest the package already exists, but it’s not, I think.

So what is “CleanBuild” and what do the options mean: [N]one [A]ll [Ab]ort [I]nstalled [No]t Installed

And is meant by (1 2 3, 1-3, ^4) ?

    1-3 a range? So that means: None, All, AND Abort? But that’s contradicting.

    I’m using a relative fresh install of manjaro gnome though, I never installed this ivpn package before

      No. On your screenshot you can see that the apps that you are trying to install are numbered. It’s hard to notice because you are only installing on app so the numbering stops at one, but if you tried to install multiple apps or the app depended on an other package from the AUR you would see more entries in this list and each entry would be numbered.

      So specifying a range would mean package 1, 2 and 3. An option like that can come in handy when performing updates

      Uh, no. That’s just me not being very clear. Where it says “1. ivpn (build files exist)”, that should be a list, but you only have one package. The numbers refers to that list’s elements.

      I’m also going to edit my previous comment because i got something wrong.

      Then i don’t know why you’re getting this message, but i think it’s pretty harmless. Just to be sure, before installing press " A" and then enter. This way you’ll be sure to install the correct files.
