[SOLVED]"yaourt -Syu --aur" is not upgrading packages from AUR

I have packages that I know need to be udpated but

yaourt -Syu --aur

is not showing those packages. If I do, say,

yaourt -Syu plex-media-server

it will show me that I need to update this package and if I want to proceed.

Any ideas?

Is it this issue? https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=209514

What version of yaourt are you using?

Do you have an alias set up? What is the output of "which yaourt" and "alias yaourt"?

Thanks for the reply. I had gone through that thread and tried installing git versions of both yaourt and package-query (did package-query first). Still not working.

Yaourt was latest version and now it's the git version.

No alias set up.

Here is the output:

$ which yaourt
/usr/bin/yaourt
$ alias yaourt
-bash: alias: yaourt: not found

OK with your suggestions around aliases, etc. I did some more digging and found for some reason my package-query was sitting in /usr/local/bin and when I removed package-query package that binary file stayed put. So I deleted it and re-installed both yaourt and package-query (non-git versions) and I am good now.

Thanks!!
