I have pacman 4 installed and am trying to install yaourt-git. The problem I am having is that package-query-git, the only dependecy I need for yaourt, is not recognized by yaourt-git though the package-query-git installed successfully. Is this a file-permissions issue? Do I need to "sudo makepkg --asroot" either or both of these packages? I am not sure; I have been googling this for a while now with no luck. Any of you wizards got any ideas?

Post the output of 'pacman -Q package-query-git' and the error yaourt-git throws at you.
Have you installed package-query-git from the AUR?

Here's the output of 'pacman -Q package-query-git
error: package 'package-query-git' was not found
It doesn't make sense because it told me it was installed after I unzipped the tarball from the AUR and ran 'makepkg' in the unzipped folder. This is usually all I have to do when downloading from the AUR. Did I skip a step? There's an xz file in my post-makepkg package-quere-git file. Now I am just confused.
Just for fun I did a 'sudo rm -rf' on the xz file and ran a 'sudo makepkg --asroot' and got an 'unknown error' from the PKGBUILD output right after the 'compressing man and info pages...' output.

If you ran 'makepkg' it only creates the package, it doesn't install it, 'makepkg -i' does.
Run 'pacman -U package-query-git.pkg*' in that folder to install it.
Edit: nvm, you removed it.
The '--asroot' stuff is not needed, drop it. Build package-query-git again.

Ahh I thought I was missing a step. I have never had this problem before, though. Boy, do I feel dumb.
