[solved]After upgrading to [testing] , yaourt gives errors (permision)

Is what shows up after I install something with Yaourt. The weird thing is it only shows packages I've recently installed (flashplugin from [testin], picasa from AUR and the fonts from AUR). Doesn't make sense because I don't think it upgraded pacman or anything when I upgraded to [testing]. BTW everything still installs fine, just that's pretty annoying still.

EDIT: IN attempt to reinstall yaourt, I get this, potentially a permissions problem?

I'll try root and see if it helps things out.

And no problems as root...why are the permissions defaulting to the wrong thing?

Also, every thing I try, pacman always sets the permissions wrong (tried as root, with youart, wihout it, with sudo, etc). I gotta run chmod -R 755 /usr/local/pacman/local every time to fix it, why isn't it setting it right by default?

EDIT: Looks like a bug to me, so I bugreported it http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12187
