how to remove AUR package

I have some misunderstanding.
On official AUR wiki there is advice to fisrt install package-query, but yaourt on git repo want package-query-git to be installed, and they both confict.
After installation I have yaourt, but it doesn't work returning folowwing:

% yaourt -S create_ap
/usr/bin/yaourt: line 27: /usr/local/lib/yaourt/util.sh: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/yaourt: line 290: explode_args: command not found
/usr/bin/yaourt: line 367: program_arg: command not found
/usr/bin/yaourt: line 370: init_paths: command not found
/usr/bin/yaourt: line 371: init_color: command not found
/usr/bin/yaourt: line 253: pacman_cmd: command not found
/usr/bin/yaourt: line 96: pkgquery: command not found
/usr/bin/yaourt: line 229: die: command not found
/usr/bin/yaourt: line 230: prompt: command not found

So I tried to remove AUR by

pacman -R yaourt
% sudo pacman -R yaourt
error: target not found: yaourt

and

pacman -rs

No chances

Re: how to remove AUR package

How did you install yaourt?

Moving to AUR Issues...

It's not an advice, it's a requirement. package-query is a dependency for yaourt and package-query-git is a dependency for yaourt-git.
If you have yaourt-git installed, run 'pacman -Rns yaourt-git' to remove it.
Commands you run to start an application may be different from the package names.

What's the output of

pacman -Qs yaourt

Re: how to remove AUR package

Ok, thanks, that was yaourt-git.
So what's the point of making this with link to github repo and tarball, but thoose would be two different packages with two different dependencies?
And what package I should use?

Re: how to remove AUR package

The difference is that one is the current development code, the other is a "stable" snapshot.

But if you are new to the AUR - which it would seem you are - you definitely shouldn't be using either of these.  Learn to use the AUR well before you let a tool like yaourt hide all the important details from you.
