Source archive is never downloaded for custom package - why?

I'm trying to add a custom package to a debug build of LibreELEC.

My (WiP) packages/debug/heaptrack/package.mk:

Code: packages/debug/heaptrack/package.mk

PKG_NAME="heaptrack"
PKG_VERSION="1.5"
#PKG_REV="0"
PKG_SHA256="2f87cd1b7da7ef387ba042719119caec4abafa71313e956c19e214e7983d9090"
PKG_LICENSE="GPL2"
PKG_SITE="https://apps.kde.org/heaptrack/"
# https://invent.kde.org/sdk/heaptrack/-/archive/1.5/heaptrack-1.5.tar.bz2
PGK_URL="https://invent.kde.org/sdk/${PKG_NAME}/-/archive/${PKG_VERSION}/${PKG_NAME}-${PKG_VERSION}.tar.bz2"
#PKG_DEPENDS_HOST="toolchain:host"
PKG_DEPENDS_TARGET="toolchain binutils boost elfutils libunwind zlib zstd"
PKG_SHORTDESC="a heap memory profiler"
PKG_LONGDESC="Heaptrack traces all memory allocations and annotates these events with stack traces."

Display More

(And I added it to packages/virtual/debug with a new HEAPTRACK switch.)

When the build gets to this package, it will try to detect the required toolchain (which should be cmake / cmake-make); but the build.LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-13.0-devel/build/heaptrack-1.5/ directory is empty save for two stamp files.

There is no trace of the heaptrack-1.5.tar.bz2 source file in sources/ (or anywhere), nor any indication in any log that I can find where it would be downloaded.

I've verified the PKG_URL by running scripts/build edited to #!/bin/bash -x and it resolves as expected, and manually wget'ing that URL yields an archive with the source files.

What am I missing / what could be going wrong here?

That ^ works for me (at least to download the sources):

Code

chewitt@toolbox:~/LibreELEC.chewitt$ ls -l sources/heaptrack/heaptrack-1.5.tar.bz2*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 chewitt chewitt 5553752 Apr 21 15:51 sources/heaptrack/heaptrack-1.5.tar.bz2
-rw-rw-r-- 1 chewitt chewitt      65 Apr 21 15:51 sources/heaptrack/heaptrack-1.5.tar.bz2.sha256
-rw-rw-r-- 1 chewitt chewitt      73 Apr 21 15:51 sources/heaptrack/heaptrack-1.5.tar.bz2.url

NB: there's no need to hide things behind switches, just build the package directly with, e.g.

PROJECT=Generic ARCH=x86_64 scripts/build heaptrack

Typo? PGK_URL

Source archive is never downloaded for custom package - why?
