[SOLVED] Bug in AUR with installing package dependencies for yaourt?

I see in the wiki article that

makepkg -s

is supposed to resolve and install all dependencies, but I just had that fail for me with yaourt 1.5-1:

[archie@archippocrates yaourt]$ makepkg -s
==> Making package: yaourt 1.5-1 (Wed Feb 11 18:34:55 EST 2015)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Installing missing dependencies...
[sudo] passwod for archie:
error: target not found: package-query>=1.4
==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies.

Is that a bug or am I forgetting something silly? This is a new (as of today) system, so I don't think it's a sync problem. I used makepkg -s successfully for installing b43-firmware but I don't think I saw it pull in any dependencies for that package.

Thanks for suggestions. I'll gladly file a bug if necessary, but wanted to make sure it's not me before doing so.

package-query is not in the official repos...

Not an Installation issue, moving to NC.

You'll have to download package-query manually from AUR and install it first with e.g.

[~/AUR/package-query]$ makepkg -s --asdeps

Thank you both. I did what progandy suggested (and got package-query-1.5 installed) yet I still get the exact same error when attempting to install yaourt.

Please paste the output of `pacman -Q package-query`.

My bad. I did make the package as suggested, but forgot that installing is a second step. I'm good to go now.
