Hi,
when i try to install a large package (anaconda) yaourt takes all the free space of my /tmp directory which is on tmpfs (command df -h). And when it takes 100% the system has to be rebooted
df -h
dev 3,8G 0 3,8G 0% /dev
run 3,8G 1,2M 3,8G 1% /run
/dev/sda2 36G 26G 7,8G 77% /
tmpfs 3,8G 80M 3,8G 3% /dev/shm
tmpfs 3,8G 0 3,8G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs 3,8G 1,5G 2,4G 39% /tmp
/dev/sda4 52G 38G 12G 77% /home
/dev/sda1 147G 105G 42G 72% /WINDOWS
tmpfs 775M 16K 775M 1% /run/user/1000
I also tried to modify /etc/yaourtrc to make it use /tmp on my home directory but it did not work
TMPDIR="/home/user/tmp"
I even did that to unmount tmpfs but everything failed
systemctl unmask tmp.mount
Is there a way to make yaourt use /tmp on my directory and not the "RAM tmpfs"
Thanks
Sincerely

Arch Wiki contains a comparison of actually working and maintained AUR helpers.
Sometimes I seem a bit harsh — don’t get offended too easily!

Mod note: Not an installation issue, moving to AUR issues...

The unsolved issues mentioned are likely to corrupt your system beyond repair.
Please remove yaourt.
Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

I changed to pikaur and octopi for GUI, i close this topic, i will see if it works better now

Maximally ironic when you switch from a tool that might have a small chance to cause harm to tools that are guaranteed to break your system. octopi does partial upgrades on a schedule, while pikaur has in its short existence a longer history of breakage than yaourt in 12 years.
Just stick to makepkg and steer clear from all these "helpers" unless you specifically know why you need one.
edit: Reading the yaourt man page would have directly solved the issue in this case.

It did exactly the same with pikaur, the solution is to change directory of makepkg.conf to make makepkg use /home/USER/tmp directory instead of the tmpfs one.
