[SOLVED]Can't figure out how to use aurutils

I have already properly installed aurutils from source(GitHub) and followed the steps on aurutils(7) man page. Now I'm trying to use it to automatically download and install google-chrome from the AUR. But I'm getting this error message when I run aursync google-chrome:
/usr/local/bin/aursync: line 196: pacconf: command not found
==> ERROR: aursync: no file:// repository found

I really don't know why I'm getting this error since I simply followed all configuration steps found on aurutils(7) man page and there's Server = file:///var/cache/pacman/custom on my /etc/pacman.d/custom/pacman.conf file.

% pkgfile pacconf
community/pacutils

You should really be using the pacutils or pacutils-git AUR packages, they include dependency resolution.

Re: [SOLVED]Can't figure out how to use aurutils

Thank you very much Scimmia! Installed pkgfile and I'm going to start using it more often. It's a really handy tool to have.
So, the problem is now solved. I installed pacutils and fixed my /etc/pacman.conf file to point to the correct custom pacman configuration.
Thank you again for your answer!
