What I want to know is, given that the OP's original message clearly stated he *already has* yaourt installed... why, oh why, must the peanut gallery recommend *undoing* all that good work of manually (presumably -- one hopes) installing an AUR helper, and instead recommend activating the dreaded [archlinuxfr] repo? (This peanut gallery has posted here before, somehow I am not surprised he uses [archlinuxfr].) Either Jude DaShiell didn't read the OP at all, just the subject line, or he really, really, really wants people to use [archlinuxfr] for some truly bizarre (and messed up) reason. Either option is kind of scary. ... I also couldn't help but notice, not only did he recommend [archlinuxfr] he also recommended installing archlinuxfr/yaourt via a partial update! > pacman -Sy yaourt <cr> -- Eli Schwartz
