Problems using AUR since upgrade of pacman db version

[Marcel Kleinfeller <marcel@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

I'm facing some problems using the AUR with many helper programs (cower, 
packer etc).
That might be due to the latest upgrade of the pacman database to 
version 4.2.

Is there a simple way to use AUR?

Thanks in advance!

P.S.: I'm really not sure whether this is the right place to ask.
