Aurbuild "pacman -u" function not working

.....
==> Finished making: yaourt  (Sat Aug 25 19:24:15 SGT 2007)
==> Running pacman --upgrade...
loading package data...

error: failed to add target '/root/.aurbuild.8417/yaourt/yaourt-0.8.3-1.pkg.tar.gz' (could not find or read file)


aurbuild: could not install package through pacman --upgrade.

Hi!

The above always happens no matter what I try to compile. Is the lack of free disk space a problem?
Currently, my home partition has 1.7GB of free space out of 50GB.

Btw, it used to work fine b4.

Thanks in advance!

Re: Aurbuild "pacman -u" function not working

This is an aurbuild problem, not a "Pacman & Package Upgrade Issue". Normally, I'd suggest contacting the aurbuild developer, but as it is no longer maintained, just install your yaourt package with pacman, and then use yaourt (which I'm assuming was your plan anyway).

Sorry abt the miscategorisation.

I tried manually installing the package specified in the path manually with pacman -U but it doesn't work because the file isn't even there.

Ah managed to install yaourt manually(not using AURBuild) thanks to the abs wiki.
