yaourt, trying to get colorised output and looking for a gui frontend?

hey guys i just installed yaourt and cant seem to get color output

==> Building and installing package
==> Making package: pacman-color 3.2.2-2 i686 (Thu Jan  8 19:19:08 GMT 2009)
==> Checking Runtime Dependencies...
==> Installing missing dependencies...
pacman=3.2.2 package not found, searching for group...
error: 'pacman=3.2.2': not found in sync db
==> ERROR: Pacman failed to install missing dependencies.
Error: Makepkg was unable to build pacman-color package.

Re: yaourt, trying to get colorised output and looking for a gui frontend?

One, did you add the [archlinux-fr] repository?  Two, no there is not.  I'm thinking about creating one, however...

[archlinuxfr]
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/i686

#Or, for 64-bit:

[archlinuxfr]
Server = http://repo.archlinux.fr/x86_64

Binaries for Yaourt, paman-color, colordiff, customizepkg, and an assortment of other packages are maintained in that repo.

The actual problem was that that package depends on a version of pacman that is still in [testing]. You could have also just edited the depends line in the PKGBUILD to 3.2.1.b.
But being an [archlinuxfr] user myself, I second Windervenom's suggestion

In /etc/yaourtrc, uncomment PacmanBin and set it to pacman-color.
