Now when I tried to merge my new pacman.conf I found that I did not recieve any pacman.conf.pacnew. Any on ideas why this happened.
If you did not change the original pacman.conf, it will just be updated with the new version. See the pacnew wiki page for how it works.
This answers the question. Thank you.

]]>first you update pacman, merge pacnew files and run pacman again to update the rest of the system.
Hey just wanted to point out something that happened to me while I was trying to solve this issue. I had packagekit installed so I was unable to update pacman. So, I waited for an update to packagekit to happen. When that arrived I updated packagekit which also updated pacman as a dependency:
[abhishek@Nitaichand ~]$ sudo pacman -S packagekit

BTW, I ran the pacman-key --init command and this is what I got:

Is this alright?
]]>Edit: What karol said below, there you go.
]]>To install from 2011.08.19 iso, you need to all of this following steps now.
-- pacman 4 moves to [core], need to upgrade pacman with above example.
-- Users of unofficial kernels must enable devtmpfs support
-- filesystem upgrade - manual intervention required
-- initscripts update - manual intervention required
and the list just keeps growing with upgrades.
]]>Maybe he meant [archlinuxfr]?
Yes, you're right.. Sorry, I was posting late at night, I was kind of lost
with the new situation and very tired. Shouldn't be posting.

No need to be mean, although I understand. I actually missed posting that I couldn't install package-query and yaourt
but that was also my fault, I had forgotten to uncomment 'testing' from then new pacman.conf. Everything works now.
How is uncommenting [testing] related to getting AUR packages to work?
]]>That's what happens if you copy-paste commands w/o a clue why you should be doing it.
That wasn't the case. Anyway, please, enough irony for now guys. I did a mistake (though I always do try to
follow the forum's savoir-vivre, RTFM's, etc) and I apologize for wasting your time.
Cheers
