[Solved] "An unknown error" with yaourt

Hi,
I'm reinstalling Arch 2010.05 to my ThinkPad,
Everything is working fine but AUR...
When I try to install package, en error occures as below.
It happens on all AUR packages.
Just a week ago, they were all installable though...
Any idea or workaround?

$ yaourt -Sy PACKAGE_NAME
==> Edit PKGBUILD ? [Y/n] ("A" to abort) N
==> Continue building shorewall ? [Y/n] Y

==> Building and installing package
==> ERROR: An unknown error has occurred. Exiting...
==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build PACKAGE_NAME.

Thank you.

Your thread title is incorrect - all you have is "An unknown error" with yaourt. You have no reason to assume that it's a problem downloading the source code.

I've found a workaround.

vi /etc/makepkg.conf
# Original # BUILDENV=(fakeroot !distcc color !ccache)
# Modified # BUILDENV=(fakeroot !distcc !color !ccache)

It's working perfectly fine.
Not certain for root cause though...
