[SOLVED] yaourt no results returned

when i run yaourt it doesn't return any results. It was working a few days ago but apparently stopped.

~]$ yaourt a
~]$     

no errors nothing, just drops out of the program. running yaourt with no variables after it correctly displays the help screen. ran the program as normal user and as root both with same results. pacman works fine though.

I checked the yaourtrc file in /etc, looks like everything is rem'ed out with #. Not sure if this is standard or not since i didn't look at the config file when the program was working correctly.

Re: [SOLVED] yaourt no results returned

Just tried to remove and reinstall yaourt.

]# pacman -R yaourt
loading package data... failed.
error: failed to add target 'yaourt' (could not find or read package)

]# pacman -S yaourt
error: 'yaourt': not found in sync db

]# pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
local database is up to date

]# pacman -S yaourt
error: 'yaourt': not found in sync db

Was yaourt removed?

Re: [SOLVED] yaourt no results returned

$ yaourt yaourt
1 aur/yaourt 0.8.12-1 [installed]
    A Pacman frontend with more features like AUR support
2 aur/zsh-yaourt 0.1-1
    ZSH functions to tab-complete package names for yaourt
==>  Enter n° (separated by blanks, or a range) of packages to be installed
     Example:   '1 6 7 8 9'   or   '1 6-9'
==>   ----------------------------------------------

It was certainly not removed -- it was actually updated on my system today, presumably because of AUR changes from yesterday night.  You might want to try building it manually using AUR if you're experiencing problems.

Yaourt will never be installed by pacman.

There is a new one on AUR. Not really sure on you a flag though, try using -Ss and searching for something.

Re: [SOLVED] yaourt no results returned

Try to download last yaourt from [archlinuxfr] repository:
[archlinuxfr]
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/i686

or if you use 64bits:
[archlinuxfr]
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/x86_64

Re: [SOLVED] yaourt no results returned

Got it working.

I installed the new version of yaourt from the pkgbuild. I had to force the install but after i installed it i noticed the version number was still the old one. So i checked /usr/bin ran yaourt from there it came up with the new version. So i checked /bin found a yaourt there, ran it it was the old version. I copied yaourt from /usr/bin to /bin and ran it from a different path and it came up with the new version and returned results from AUR. 

Thanks guys.

Now how do i set the title for this thread as [SOLVED].  ;-)
