[SOLVED] Cannot install skychart app

I am trying to install skychart and some other components using yaourt:

$ yaourt -S skychart skychart-data-dso skychart-data-stars skychart-pictures

but below error is shown:

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot install skychart app

The error is pretty clear: 404: the URL is either incorrect or outdated, which is probably why the comments on the AUR page include new URLs...
You should read the AUR page before posting.

Moving to AUR issues...

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot install skychart app

Any ideas what's the problem?

Yes, exactly what it says, the requested source tarball is 404 (not found). The latest stable software is at version 3.10, so I'm guessing the older source tarball has been relocated.  You can try notifying the maintainer and making sure they're aware of the situation, but in the meantime you can update the PKGBUILD to download the up-to-date sources. See the comments on the AUR page for hints on how to do this.

Is not in the repositories? why?

Because it's either not popular enough, and/or no maintainers are interested in packaging it.

Re: [SOLVED] Cannot install skychart app

Hi all,
FInally I have solved it by editing the PKGBUILD and modifying some things like explained here:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/skychart

and changing version to 3.10
