In this case it would be removing:

Errors right and left... :(

Just did all of this line by line:

Code: Select all

wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/package-query/package-query.tar.gz
tar zxvf package-query.tar.gz
cd package-query
makepkg -si
cd ..
wget http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yaourt/yaourt.tar.gz
tar zxvf yaourt.tar.gz
cd yaourt
makepkg -si
cd ..

(I had to rename the old yaourt and package-query folders in /home first)
http://archlinux.fr/yaourt-en#get_it

Now...

Code: Select all

:) yaourt lib32-glibc
/usr/lib/yaourt/basicfunctions.sh: line 12: package-query: command not found


How can that be, when I just installed it?

Just re-added that to pacman.conf, and used the alternative method to reinstall yaourt. It reinstalled, but I still have that same damn error when I use it:

Code: Select all

You obviously have some javascripts running somewhere. http://www.json.org/
Try this:
That error is being thrown by yajl, which package-query links to. Rebuilding package-query is likely your solution if it happens for all packages.

Yes, I saw that.

Problem is, in the process of reinstalling yaourt manually, you're rebuilding package-query anyway (see first method I used), so I'm still getting the error even after having done that.

However, I do think I'll try downgrading yajl, thanks to someone who can search their forum better than I can. :)

Except, one slight problem:

Code: Select all

# pacman -U yajl-1.0.11-3-i686.pkg.tar.xz
warning: downgrading package yajl (2.0.2-1 => 1.0.11-3)
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: package-query: requires yajl>=2.0


Edit: Also:

Code: Select all

[root@dedanna Downloads]# ls /usr/local | grep package
[root@dedanna Downloads]# which package-query
/usr/bin/package-query
[root@dedanna Downloads]# pacman -Qo /usr/local/bin/package-query
error: failed to read file '/usr/local/bin/package-query': No such file or directory

Well, it appeared to be the main theme of those links you posted up there, so thought it worth a try.

I've given up for now. Who knows, maybe an update will fix it someday.

Kernel (2.6.38.8-1 ) and Pacman update today. It went just fine.

Yeah, we didn't have to uninstall pacman-color this time. Miracle of all miracles.


Still looking for something javascript-related that could be interfering with yaourt - nothing I can find, not even in htop. :\

Also, look again at the code. It's talking about tor?

Code: Select all

:) yaourt yags
lexical error: invalid char in json text.
                                       <html> <head> <title>Tor is not
                     (right here) ------^


I don't get what javascript (or json) would have to do with tor? Or could it be that the tor header is wrong in mirrorlist?

I can't wrap my head around this. Don't know whether to file a bug, or what?

Sad, 'cause I really need yaourt right now, unless you can suggest a good alternative? It seems like a lot of them dropped off the map when the guy that was working on powerpill opted out.

Kernel 2.6.39 is in the update today. God I love Arch - Fedora is a turtle on pot in comparison. :-D

I can't believe I finally beat you to something, and I'm the one that hasn't been using Arch lately.

Code: Select all

:) uname -a
Linux dedanna.rocks.net 2.6.39-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Jun 7 05:49:02 UTC 2011 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

...And that's without today's updates. That's without updates since June 11th, when I got kernel26-2.6.39.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz in.

Will see what happens now.

FYI, don't discount it. You'd be surprised how fast Fedora's booting for me.

Edit2: And today, nothing but mkinitcpio updated that would have anything to do with the kernel:

Yes I am not surprised that you beat me - you usually do :) And I was referring to the speed of implementing software, not boot speed, with my remark above.
