Strange probs with yaourt (loads of errors, still works though)

dmz · 2008-11-13 02:43:57

I don't know what I've screwed up this time, but when I am using yaourt (-Ss -S, whatever) the output is pretty unreadable:

└─(03:40:%)── yaourt -Ss stumpwm
/usr/lib/yaourt/basicfunctions.sh: line 277: initcolor: command not found

.. and so on. I tried to reinstall yaourt but the problem remains. What to do?

Noone?

Army · 2008-11-13 20:12:36

Reinstall yaourt?

It is a shellscript, open some editor with it, and look at which commands it does not seem/want/believe/like to find? I mean, the errormessages do tell the linenumbers? Did you deinstall something important?

I get the same thing. I even tried downloading yaourt from AUR manually and installing it that way. I still get the same thing. And I know I didn't install anything. Its a fresh install and I haven't installed everything I needed to.

Try deleting or renaming your .bashrc (if you use zsh your .zshrc, I know when I first installed zsh I did something with my .zshrc that made it do that, I just found a different one and it works fine now).

smartboyathome · 2008-11-20 04:40:24

Thanks, found the problem. It seems that my path variable was messing it up.

EDIT: Its actually a problem with running yaourt as a normal user, not root. Weird. Oh well, it works now.

I think this is a yaourt bug, it keeps track of what modules it has loaded through a variable, but if you have, for example, the "color" environment variable set in you .bashrc or .zshrc, it will think it has already loaded the color module and won't load it, but since it really hasn't, it gives an error.

I fixed it by putting

export color=

at the end of my .zshrc, I don't know what variables yaourt uses for the other modules.

Thanks a lot. Finally the output is readable. \o/

Thank you from me as well! It works great now!

This fixed the problem for me too.

I still get '/usr/lib/yaourt/basicfunctions.sh: line 280: initcolor: command not found' right after I have selected what packages to install from the search.
My .zshrc is pretty long, so god knows what is messing it up in there. the 'export color=' is there at the end though.
It would be nice if anyone has .zshrc that is working that they want to share.

export color=

rgoerke · 2010-07-01 21:31:16

I just ran into this problem shortly after switching to zsh from bash. I copied somebody else's .zshrc to get me started and the offending lines in my case were:

    
for color in RED GREEN YELLOW BLUE MAGENTA CYAN WHITE; do
   eval PR_$color='%{$terminfo[bold]$fg[${(L)color}]%}'
   eval PR_LIGHT_$color='%{$fg[${(L)color}]%}'
   (( count = $count + 1 ))
    done

Which presumably screws up yaourt by using a variable called color. Since it's just a dummy variable, I replaced it with colour (I'm canadian after all ) and all was well.

GGLucas's idea of using

export color=

works, but only if you are building one package at a time with yaourt. If you have to build dependencies I found the problem returned after the first build.

trunneml · 2010-10-27 18:45:49

unset color

at the end of your .bashrc/.zshrc is your friend. :-)
