Problem using yaourt and AUR[SOLVED]

kaola_linux · 2009-01-09 08:51:15

Hi, I have some strange issues with regarding to yaourt and the AUR...

1. My problem with yaourt is that it can't seem to install or find packages on the AUR..
2. Using the AUR; when trying to open the tarball downloaded via opera, no files (PKGBUILD, etc) are there...

I want to download (kicad and geda) supposedly but this problem occurs...:(

Any help would be appreciated...I tried downloading using midori but it crashes though...:/

Thanks in advance

There are posts around here about that. From memory, the AUR was upgraded so you will need the latest git version of yaourt.

kaola_linux · 2009-01-09 09:09:06

How about with the tarballs which doesn't contain any files? Are they related with each other? I tried to download the tarball of the yaourt-git but it still doesn't have any files...:/

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yaour … git.tar.gz
seems to work fine here.

kaola_linux · 2009-01-09 10:34:27

I tried opening the file using xarchiver and squeeze but it doesn't contain anything at all...Is this problem related to my system itself?

I had include [archlinuxfr] to my repos, yaourt-git is not there...:(

Here is another info with regards to installing geda-suite via yaourt:

Please add x86_64 to arch=() array. Also, wersion 1.2.0 is released, I simple change version in PKGBUILD and make it.

Comment by: jcasper on 20080507 [16:15:37]
Adopted and updated to current standards and version (1.4.0)

Comment by: onlinefloh on 20080723 [19:53:38]
As far as i can tell, configure needs perl module XML::Parser in order to compile properly.
So perl-xml-parser needs to be added to makedepends.

with a slightly update in PKGBUILD (as already pointed out) now this builds just fine and - judging from a real quick look - works equally fine. PKGBUILD:

file downloaded and opened fine with xarchiver here.

Edit addition: Have you tried wget or curl?

kaola_linux · 2009-01-09 11:22:27

I trried using wget, it's still the same...Package doesn't contain anything...:(

xaiviax · 2009-01-09 11:52:26

What's the downloaded package size? You may have an issue with tar or gzip.

kaola_linux · 2009-01-10 03:27:44

Before when downloding a tarball the size is only 1kb -1.6kb...

Your indeed correct that I had problems with gzip and tar....

Installed it using this because it says alot of conflicts if doing a normal reinstall:

#pacman -Sf tar gzip

Now I can use yaourt and also downloading the tarballs from AUR has the files now...:D

Great thanks to you xaiviax!!!

Although it segfaults for me when trying to start a game.

[vEX]: Add to your PKGBUILD arch=('i686'). Without it PKGBUILD doesn't work.

Comment by: sandsmark on 20080220 [10:36:04]
If you want, I can adopt this package. Just orphan it, and I'll pick it up.

This package needs also package patch. I mean without package patch, there aren't command patch.

Adopted and added GNU patch as additional dependency.

move patch to makedep~ instead, and remove unzip from makedep~ since its not needed.

If tar and gzip were messed up, more probably were too. I would re-add all core packages 'pacman -S core' or even all packages: pacman -S $(pacman -Qq | grep -v "$(pacman -Qmq)")

Your pacman database (/var/lib/pacman) is messed up.
pacman -Syy
could fix that. But it seems that you have a lot of stuff messed up on your system, so pretty much anything can go wrong.

u_no_hu · 2009-01-10 11:55:39

Is there a package group called core? you may be looking for "base".
And try pacman -Syy as suggested above.

Does this mean I have to reinstall all my packages?:o I'm doing pacman -Syy now hope this can help...

Ranguvar this was very helpful:

pacman -Sf $(pacman -Qq | grep -v "$(pacman -Qmq)")

I've added "f" to force install due to conflicts...Now my system can install via yaourt and via abs as well...:lol:

Many thanks to all
