NEEDED? makepkg.conf.pacnew and/or yaourt-git: WARNING: Unable to copy

Hi....


ISSUE:  when I try to install CERTAIN things via yaourt on my up to date system.
At the end of the yaourt process I will sometimes get  the:

==> WARNING: Unable to copy WHATEVER PACKAGE to /tmp/ directory


I'm pretty sure I deleted  makepkg.conf.pacnew.

I am certain to have gone through the big 3.2 pacman upgrade a while back.
I assumed the pacnew was a pacsave ...I guess.... can't assume of course.

The only post I could find was this one...
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=53040

As I very likely threw out the    makepkg.conf.pacnew

and missed the merge thing.... could someone post it... or tell me the fix....

OTHER FIX/ISSUE I READ ABOUT:

yaourt-git needed instead of the release version ????

I'm not at all sure if I need yaourt-git and the doing of the recommended MERGE with the   makepkg.conf.pacnew and the old one.

After this gets resolved I will hopefully add t omy knowledge of AUR usage... and add the other install techniques!!  great!
thanks!!!!!!!!
