Error installing a package using yaourt

Not sure if this is the place to post this or not.  My previous experience with yaourt (before my HD died and I had to reinstall), I didn't have this issue, and I wasn't able to find any references to this in the wiki, forum, or on the yaourt page (both the usage page and the AUR listing).  I run yaourt as follows:

$ yaourt -Syv --aur pacman-color

and I get the following error:

/usr/bin/pacman: unrecognized option '--aur'

is there something I'm missing?  I tried moving the --aur to various places, like before the -Syv, or after pacman-color, but it resulted in the same error.  I'm using the current yaourt and package-query (as of tonight), and pacman 3.4.0. Thanks in advance for any help.

<wild guesses>
'-Syv' or '-Syu'?
Maybe you have aliased yaourt to pacman? ;-)

If it was, I didn't do it.

$ alias yaourt
bash: alias: yaourt: not found

Re: Error installing a package using yaourt

I've installed yaourt and '-Syu' seems to work while '-Syv' returns an error. 'pacman -Syv' works.

[karol@black test]$ yaourt -Sy --aur

Interesting.. I get the same thing.  I guess I'll just have to do it that way, then.  Thanks for the help!

I haven't read the man page so I don't know whether it qualifies for a bug report.
