Ignoring that Antergoes isn't supported by this mailing list, AUR helpers aren't supported by Arch Linux. "Warning: AUR helpers are not supported by Arch Linux. You should become familiar with the manual build process in order to be prepared to troubleshoot problems." - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers To keep it short, $ pacman -Q yaourt yaourt 1.9-1 does work. A yaourt feature doesn't work properly, there's an issue with showing AUR comments, but that has got no impact on the build process. Yaourt does a good job, it suffers from minor pitfalls. By default it builds in /tmp, which usually is a tmpfs, so it could be too small to build some software. If you build manually in a too small tmpfs, it's the same issue ;). If a command isn't found, it's usually an issue that isn't related to discontinued or problematic software. It's an issue on it's own. $ hahaha -S espeak-ng-git bash: hahaha: command not found $ which yaourt /usr/bin/yaourt $ which hahaha which: no hahaha in (/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/lib/icecat:/usr/lib/jvm/default/bin:/usr/bin/site_perl:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl)
