(Solved) package-query trying to downgrade pacman

i want to install yaourt on my system. one of its dependencies package-query (also AUR) depends upon pacman <= 3.6 for installing, while i have pacman 4.0.0rc1-1 on my system. so when i try to install it, it tries to downgrade my pacman to 3.5.4-4.

is there a way around it? any suggestions would be welcome, even if its very unlikely (i would love to tinker)

Re: (Solved) package-query trying to downgrade pacman

If you really have to have yaourt, don't use the pacman4 rc.
