I can't get Yaourt to work!

I am trying to get AUR to work.

I have gotten yaourt to start, but in the end it fails with this:

==> upgrading SVN/CVS/HG/GIT package
missing dependency for logrotate : cron
missing dependency for mkinitcpio : mktemp
missing dependency for sysvinit : util-linux
missing dependency for udev : util-linux
missing dependency for udev : mktemp

However ALL of those packages DO exist on my system.

I don't understand what is wrong...

Re: I can't get Yaourt to work!

did you get any errors when you made the package? U got something wrong somewhere along the lines.

try this... add this server to your /etc/pacman.conf file

[archlinuxfr]
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/x86_64

make sure u put i686 instead of x86_64 if u have a 32 bit processor
make sure u uninstalled the old package first.

pacman -Rs yaourt

and then try installing yaourt with pacman,

pacman -Syy yaourt

This is a problem with coreutils package. Yaourt just run 'testdb' after each install to see if anything is wrong in pacman database.

How can you have cron, mktemp and util-linux? These packages don't exist (anymore). They are provided by others, for example
dcron, coreutils and util-linux-ng
What does this say : pacman -Q dcron coreutils util-linux-ng

Re: I can't get Yaourt to work!

I have re-installed Arch in the time between, to see if that would improve things.

I will update the thread after I try running Yaourt on that install, but I am not sure if double-posting is allowed. Editing this post wouldn't bump this thread you know.

EDIT: OK I have got it running now. Followed this guide:

Man it was so simple
