Problem Installing yaourt from the AUR

when i try to install yaourt from the AUR i get this:

 -> Downloading yaourt-1.8.1.tar.xz...
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
  0     0    0     0    0     0      0      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--     0
curl: (77) error setting certificate verify locations:
  CAfile: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
  CApath: none
==> ERROR: Failure while downloading [url]https://github.com/archlinuxfr/yaourt/releases/download/1.8.1/yaourt-1.8.1.tar.xz[/url]
    Aborting..." 

i installed the package-query dependency also but i know that has nothing to do with the ssl certificate and i even tried installing yaourt-git from the AUR to see if it would say something different but it says

curl error: Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?)

i went to the directory to change permissons on the file because i thought that was it but it keeps saying that the file is not found in /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt even though i see it on the file manager so i'm thinking that it might be symlinked from another location and the original file isn't there. any help would be great!! thanks!!

Re: Problem Installing yaourt from the AUR

do you have the ca-certificates package installed?

Re: Problem Installing yaourt from the AUR

yea, it's showing everything as being installed. i'll copy and paste what's on my screen so you can see:

 core/ca-certificates 20160507-1 [installed]
    Common CA certificates (default providers)
core/ca-certificates-cacert 20140824-3 [installed]
    CAcert.org root certificates
core/ca-certificates-mozilla 3.25-1 [installed]
    Mozilla's set of trusted CA certificates
core/ca-certificates-utils 20160507-1 [installed]
    Common CA certificates (utilities)"

Re: Problem Installing yaourt from the AUR

here is what it says:

 ls: cannot access '/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt': No such file or directory

even though when i go to the location using the file manager, i see it.

Re: Problem Installing yaourt from the AUR

Ok so I think you should try reinstalling the ca-certificates package. Just type:

pacman -S ca-certificates ca-certificates-cacert ca-certificates-mozilla ca-certificates-utils

Will need to be done from su or sudo

Re: Problem Installing yaourt from the AUR

do you have the ca-certificates package installed?

pacman -Ss ca-certificates

-Ss doesn't search what is installed. -Qs does.

Correct but it will search for everything with ca-certificates in it and show what is presently installed. There are multiple packages with that as the prefix.

I tried to reinstall them with no luck, I even restarted the computer just in case. I got yaourt-git installed but when i try to search for something on the AUR, it may give me one or two results then it hits me with

 curl error: Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?)

Re: Problem Installing yaourt from the AUR

Try to build it using git :

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/package-query.git
cd package-query
makepkg -si
cd ..
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yaourt.git
cd yaourt
makepkg -si
cd ..

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/package-query.git
cd package-query
makepkg -si
cd ..
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yaourt.git
cd yaourt
makepkg -si
cd ..

yea, i tried that afterwards. i built package-query-git and yaourt-git and installed them and it just gave me a different error but it's still about the certificate. the error is:

curl error: Problem with the SSL CA cert (path? access rights?)

the only difference in the git one and the regular one is that the git one will install but when i search for programs in the AUR, it may give me one or two results and then give me that error above.

Re: Problem Installing yaourt from the AUR

Looks like it is kinda curl related... Or the mirror you're using is not fully up to date ?

Look here and try to see the state of the one you're using.

https://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status/

Try using another mirror to see if there is any changes.
