[arch-general] yaourt doesn't upgrade aur-packages anymore
Hello, on my systems yaourt won't upgrade packages I installed from the aur. For instance etherpad-lite. When I do
yaourt -Syua
it says
[sudo] Passwort für foobar: :: Synchronisiere Paketdatenbanken... core ist aktuell extra ist aktuell community ist aktuell Fremde Pakete:/ 117 / 117
(in English: synchronizing the database; core, extra community are up to date) But when I do
yaourt etherpad-lite
I get the output:
1 aur/etherpad-lite 1.6.0-0 [installed: 1:1.5.7-3] (20) (0,17)
I have the problem on all of the following three systems. (The first boths are my PIs, the last one ist my notebook. Linux 4.4.12-1-ARCH #1 Thu Jun 2 19:11:42 MDT 2016 armv6l GNU/Linux Linux 4.4.12-1-ARCH #1 SMP Thu Jun 2 19:11:39 MDT 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux Linux 4.6.1-2-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jun 2 15:46:17 CEST 2016 x86_64 GNU/Linux Do you have a glue, what's fishy with yaourt? Thanks and greets, Applepie

First off, questions about the AUR go to the aur-general mailing list.
1 aur/etherpad-lite 1.6.0-0 [installed: 1:1.5.7-3] (20) (0,17) [...] Do you have a glue, what's fishy with yaourt?
Look closely at those version numbers, then `man PKGBUILD` and search for "epoch". ~Celti

off-topic Hi, instead of translating, temporarily changing the LANG variable might be the better approach. $ LANG=C some-command It's not related to the issue, anyway, just in case you shouldn't do this already, I strongly recommend to upgrade from official repositories first, by using the official supported tool, IOW $ sudo pacman -Syu and then $ yaourt -Syua "yaourt -Syua" most likely never will fail, but you never know.

https://lists.archlinux.org//listinfo/aur-general OTOH the AUR comments could be more appropriate for tools that aren't official supported. OTOH AUR comments aren't a support forum. It's controversial, I just want to point out, that helpers are a thorn in some subscribers side. However, I like yaourt much and also would recommend to use AUR general.
Look closely at those version numbers, then `man PKGBUILD` and search for "epoch".
$ man PKGBUILD|grep -A4 epoch|head -n6 epoch Used to force the package to be seen as newer than any previous versions with a lower epoch, even if the version number would normally not trigger such an upgrade. This value is required to be a positive integer; the default value if left unspecified is 0. This is useful when the version numbering scheme of a package changes (or is alphanumeric), breaking normal version comparison logic. See pacman(8) for more information on version comparisons. And FWIW, also not related to the issue, but just in case the OP shouldn't be aware of this, git packages might never provide updates automatically. Regards, Ralf
