yaourt -Syu problems

Hi All,

I get this:

[a@cwa ~]$ yaourt -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
 archlinuxfr is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
 local database is up to date
grep: /tmp/yaourt-tmp-a/sysupgrade: No such file or directory
Checking for package upgrades... 
no upgrades found.
grep: /tmp/yaourt-tmp-a/sysupgrade: No such file or directory
[a@cwa ~]$

I can't find this problem discussed anywhere, can anyone help?
The problem is very serious and if I use pacman to upgrade the system will not boot (libread.so stuff), I guess pacman cannot upgrade the aur stuff because musicmanager was also broken.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Re: yaourt -Syu problems

What does yaourt --version show.  There was a bug in an old version which cause this, but it was fixed a while ago.

Hello Frabato!

Yeah, and pacman -Syu is your friend in libreadline, libjpeg matters.

Do you use yaourtrc, if yes how does it looks ?

At last yaout is very very buggy program, install manually or maximum with aurbuild -s.

Hope this help.

Re: yaourt -Syu problems

Thanks for the responses. Yaourt is up to date but it does not seem to be able to bring in dependencies from core or extra. I can just install those with pacman and life is ok. I looked at yaourtrc, it looks like this:

#    a
#    a
#    ~/yaourtrc  - Configuration for yaourt
# 
#   See yaourt(8) for more information
#   
#
#
#   AlwaysUpgradeDevel no
#   AlwaysUpgradeAur no
#   AlwaysForce no
#   AurVoteSupport yes
#   AutoSaveBackupFile no
#   ColorMod Normal
#   ColorMod LightBackGround
#   ColorMod NoColor
#   ColorMod TextOnly
#   DontNeedToPressEnter yes
#   EditPkgbuild yes
#   ExportToLocalRepository /where/you/want
#   ForceEnglish no
#   LastCommentsNumber 5
#   LastCommentsOrder asc
#   NoConfirm no
#   PacmanBin /usr/bin/pacman-color
#   PkgbuildEditor gvim
#   SearchInAurUnsupported yes
#   ShowAurComment yes
#   TmpDirectory /where/you/want
#   UpdateTerminalTitle yes
#
#   Define here your prefered Sourceforge mirror: (none surfnet ufpr heanet easynews umn switch belnet kent mesh optusnet jaist puzzle superb-east nchc superb-west)
#  SourceforgeMirror heanet
#

Is there something I should change here?

Thanks

Re: yaourt -Syu problems

Loafer asked the yaourt version from you, he said it was a bug in an older version of it.

Please try it with aurbuild -s, and makepkg, without yaourt, yaourt is a very very buggy problem, we shouldn't support it.
