[SOLVED] Packer not finding packages in AUR

Hey everyone,

I installed packer today and I have all the dependencies but when I try to install anything from the AUR it says package not found.  Also, when I command it to update it only sees one package.  Any help would be appreciated.
Here is the output of the update...

 [root@Arch-T60 ~]# packer -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
 there is nothing to do
:: Synchronizing aur database...
 aur                                          1  1 [######################################################################] 100%
:: Starting full aur upgrade...
 local database is up to date

Re: [SOLVED] Packer not finding packages in AUR

What's the output of 'pacman -Qm | wc -l'? Maybe you have only one package from the AUR installed?
Can you post the output of packer when you try to install something from the AUR but it can't find this package?
