Yaourt issue

[dedanna1029]

That's the thing though. It does work (and I believe I reflected that above), but then I get the warning about it being dangerous to build as root during installation, requesting to run yaourt as non-privileged user. I put it within arrows here:

Should I go ahead and do it anyway?

[viking60]

Yes go for no 6

[dedanna1029]

Okay, well, I've done it and when I run a search:

Code: Select all

packer -Ss nautilus-dropbox

It's not finding anything there. There is no output. I know for a fact that nautilus-dropbox is in AUR, because I downloaded it from packages at AUR online. So, it's not seeing AUR at all. And, that's the whole point, is to be able to get AUR packages again.

Edit: However, I've just run into this using packer for updates:

Code: Select all

@viking, would you please run "yaourt nautilus-dropbox", and see if it finds it there for you? Not packer, yaourt.

Thanks.

Wrong syntax!

Code: Select all

packer nautilus-dropbox

is the correct syntax.
It works like yaourt:

Code: Select all

[thomas@viking60-server ~]$ packer nautilus-dropbox
0 aur/nautilus-dropbox 0.6.7-1
    Dropbox for Linux - Nautilus extension and Command Line Interface

Type numbers to install. Separate each number with a space.
Numbers:


[dedanna1029]

No, it isn't. As I said, I was running a search for it.

Code: Select all

OPERATIONS
       -Ss
           Search for a package.

From man packer. I was not trying to install nautilus-dropbox. I was running a search for it. If you would just search yaourt so I can confirm if it's definitely in AUR, I'd appreciate it. Because packer's showing nothing on a search, and I manually downloaded that thing from AUR, so I'm sure it's there.

For that matter, I got no output on packer nautilus-dropbox, either. This can't be good.

[viking60]

No the yaourt error probably goes for packer too. Why anyone would want to use Ss with packer is beyond me. Search is the default function.
Yaourt gives the same result as packer.

[dedanna1029]

So, are you currently seeing nautilus-dropbox in there, or not?

Thanks.

[viking60]

As I have shown two post above I see it - it is there. So you have the same malfunction

[dedanna1029]

Okay, yeah, damn.

[viking60]

Just remove sudo, yaourt and packer and start all over again. At least I will never get to the bottom of this.

[dedanna1029]

I don't think anyone will. They can't even get down to it at the Arch forum. *sigh

I still think it has something to do with Tor (after all, it's tor's header in the lexical error).

Looks like you must remove Tor and its proxy (polipo?) also have a look at

Code: Select all

$HOME/.bash_profile

and

Code: Select all

$HOME/.bashrc

according to this from the Tor Site:

Basic Configuration Issues

Unix and Linux Configuration

First, we assume you installed Privoxy or Polipo. Many applications can be set to use an http proxy, and that will make your life much easier.

Under Unix and GNU/Linux, most HTTP capable applications, like lynx, wget and curl, will honor the value of the http_proxy environment variable. Some applications use all lower case, some all upper, so specify both to be safe.

Add the following lines to your $HOME/.bash_profile, $HOME/.bashrc, or env settings:

http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8118/
HTTP_PROXY=$http_proxy
export http_proxy HTTP_PROXY

Once all is gone you can reinstall yaourt. Or you could try to add the content above to your .bashrc
