AUR/Yaourt says "Continue building of $PKG?" etc, instead of its name

milomouse · 2009-04-24 04:24:33

I don't know what I changed or if I accidentally uninstalled some unknown dependency but now I'm getting lines that say:

Continue the building of $PKG? [Y/n]
Continue installing $PKG? [Y/n]
Checking vote status for $_pkg
Do you want to vote for $_pkg inclusion/keeping in [community]? [Y/n]

I don't understand what happened because earlier it was saying the actual package name, like "Continue the building of sdcv?", sdcv being a package from the AUR. Anybody have any ideas with this, I mean, it's not a major dilemma but it's rather irritating. I foresee myself installing something that compiles for 5 minutes and then forget what I was installing and have to scroll up when it prompts me with "Continue installing $PKG?", lol.

If you accidentally uninstalled dependency, just try to reinstall yaourt with pacman. It will install missing dependancies too. (If it's really missing dependencies)

Yeah, I already tried reinstalling it with pacman, including a complete removal (-Rsn) > clean > and install. Still shows $PKG and $_pkg, so I think it's an 'unknown' type dependency OR I just screwed something up in another program that Yaourt calls on to find the package name (I'm not sure what that would be), because Pacman still shows the package names when it installs, so it's most probably Yaourt specific.

Ok, I have:
1. Completely removed (-Rsn) Yaourt, cleaned cache, updated ABS (just in case, I dunno!)
2. Completely removed aurvote, customizepkg, pacman-color, colordiff and did same as above (just in case..)
3. sudo updatedb, searched for anything with the words from the packages above, found nothing except in /var
4. Looked in pacman.conf for anything out of ordinary; yielding nothing except defaults and user repos.
5. Reinstalled xorg core, cleaned cache, updated ABS
6. Reinstalled wget > pacman > Yaourt > aurvote > customizepkg > pacman-color > colordiff. Then 'sudo updatedb', update ABS (lol)
7. End up with same results as before: $PKG, $_pkg instead of package name. Very confusing and irritating, now.

This is bothersome as it becomes hard to keep track of what I'm installing especially when a package has a bunch of dependencies. So, I'm at a loss and am going to have to install another AUR Helper, I think.

EDITx2: Installed aurshell and it seems to work about as good as Yaourt. Maybe this was a blessing in disguise for me. Still curious as to why Yaourt messed up though.

EDITx1: Here's my yaourtrc, even though it's default.. maybe some suggestions?

Sorry but I can't see what's wrong... Post your problem in the Yaourt thread in the Community Contribution sub-forum. You may find someone that could help you more than I do

It's allright. I reinstalled Arch fresh solely to see if I could replicate the problem and I uninstalled one package at a time until I was down to practically the kernel and yaourt and I STILL couldn't replicate the problem! So, I guess this thread can be trashed or moved to that section for threads going nowhere.
