[Solved] Can't find zsh in the repositories

After messing with my system, I discovered that alot of the core packages hadn't been updated.

After removing the nouveau stuff, and adding libdrm-git (I think was the package) everything updated this morning....

All well and good.

When I came home, and looked at the report,  zsh and some other packages were reported as not being found in the AUR.  I'm curious why?

I did a search on the website for zsh,  and the zsh package itself (that provides the shell) didn't show up, but the config, lovers, neo, yaourt, etc  did.
So what happened to the package?  I remember reading that some packages were deleted or something by mistake a while back...  Was this one of them?  if so, when will they be restored?

TIA,

Re: [Solved] Can't find zsh in the repositories

I did some digging and found some wierdnesses that apparently caused issues.

In /etc/yaourtrc, I had pacman-color as the PacmanBin.
In /etc/pacman.conf  I had /usr/bin/airpac %u %o in the XferCommand.

I commented the XferCommand out in pacman.conf and changed the pacman-color in yaourtrc to run powerpill.

Well, everything is now being found and successfully updated.
I think it may have been something with airpac, but since it's working now, I'm not going to worry about it.
